Becoming yourself Quote by Lacey Chabert
“I just think girls become so wrapped up in superficial issues that don't really matter, such as hair and make up and clothes and cars, all the things that are represented in the movie Mean Girls. And while those things can be fun and interesting, it's just that I think girls need to be taught and encouraged that other creative qualities are more important. Finding who you are creatively as a person, and what your interests are, are definitely more important.”
