Petsch: "I'm just a nerd at heart, and I'm actually quite nice."
Petsch: "Just, always remember that it's important to be your own person, and as you grow up, you start appreciating the things that make you different."
Petsch: "I'm very type-A."
Petsch: "I try to use my platform for things that I believe in and for things that would have helped me when I was younger. I try to keep everything really positive, which is why I made a YouTube channel, to integrate fans more into my life."
Petsch: "It's about finding where you're comfortable with yourself and staying true to yourself no matter the circumstances."
Petsch: "I'd love to challenge myself and play characters that overcome experiences like homelessness or abuse, because social justice is really important to me."
Petsch: "I was the weirdest kid in this small town in Washington. I was the only person who was from somewhere else, so I think they just didn't understand it... They said I was a weirdo or that I didn't belong there. That was the hardest one when people said I didn't belong there."
Petsch: "If you love what you're doing, it doesn't feel like work."
Petsch: "The people who are bullying you, they're insecure about who they are, and that's why they're bullying you. It never has to do with the person they're bullying. They desperately want to be loved and be accepted, and they go out of their way to make people feel unaccepted so that they're not alone."
Petsch: "I'm afraid of open bodies of water. I was in a glass-bottomed boat that broke a long time ago, so I've always been kind of freaked out."
Petsch: "People enjoy photos of me by myself, and people also love to see how in love I am - it's a really beautiful thing to share with my fans, actually."
Persch: "I am beyond honored to bring bisexuality in females to the screen more."
Petsch: "There were nights I was at home crying, thinking I'd never make it. I'd get up the next day and go to the audition, do my best, and try my hardest."
Petsch: "I've learned not to let anyone affect my thoughts of myself. And I learned to love my red hair - it's my favorite thing!"
Petsch: "Every human being goes through a period of time in their life where they feel like they've lost who they are, and they're trying to figure out who they are and what they want to be."
Petsch: "I've been working on this career path of mine since I was three years old."
Petsch: "I want makeup to be more about freedom of expression. If I want to put on makeup and make myself look different, I can, but it's not a standard for every single day."
Petsch: "I'm a firm believer in reading actual books."
Petsch: "I've never really wanted to do the bra top or booty shorts at festivals. I'd rather be cool, casual, and comfortable, and I like wearing outfits that I can also walk on the street with. In short, I don't really dress differently at festivals."
Petsch: "I love a good book. I'm not a club girl. I like hanging out and reading my books."
Persch: "When you're in high school, there are so many bullies, and a lot of kids don't know why the bullies are being mean to them, so they blame it on themselves."
Petsch: "I went through a time of depression in my life when I was a teenager - I think a lot of teenagers do."
Petsch: "I'm a huge advocate of showing my relationship online because love does exist, and I think it's so important for our generation to know that love will win. No matter who you love, what you love, it will win."
Petsch: "There's no perfect life. There's always something going on behind the curtain that people don't know about."
Petsch: "Somebody told me a story where they met a celebrity when they were six years old, and the celebrity was really mean. They still remember that to this day. I never want some 22-year-old in ten years' time to say, 'I met Madelaine Petcsh, and it ruined my idea of celebrities,' so I'm always aware."
Petsch: "I'm really happy to bring bisexuality to TV because you don't see that often on television, especially with women."
Petsch: "We had South African accents. I was a vegan. I was raised without religion. I was just the weirdest kid in this small town, so I got made fun of a lot for it."
Petsch: "For me, because my life is so public, I just like to be alone sometimes in my private house and enjoy my time."
