“Growing up in the public spotlight and having insecurities like every ...” — Mandy Moore Quote

“Growing up in the public spotlight and having insecurities like every other girl, I really know what it's like to feel self-conscious.”

“I'm learning to accept everything that I am. I've accepted that I'm not going to be a stick-thin-model kind of girl. When I was 14, I was tall and spindly. By the time I turned 18, I had become a woman, and my body's not going to go back to what it looked like when I was 14.”

“I can plunk out enough chords to write a song, but I'm completely afraid to play guitar in front of other people. It's a fear of failure, I guess.”

“I don't think of myself as a role model for others, but I like to live my life by my own integrity. So, in that sense, I might be a positive influence. I do believe you should get over your insecurities and just try to be the best you can.”

“At any age, you are growing up at some level, but as far as maturing and growing up, a lot of that happens in your 20s: a lot of mistakes still to make and insecurities. But at around 27, I started to come into my own as a real adult.”

“I think once I kind of got to a place of self-acceptance, looking past all the insecurities that I have, I've really grown so much as a person.”
