Jackson: "I want to be my own person."

Jackson: "I've had self-esteem issues for a really, really long time. Plenty of people think I'm ugly, and plenty of people don't. But there's a moment when I'm modeling where I forget about my self-esteem issues and focus on what the photographer's telling me - and I feel pretty. And in that sense, it's selfish."

Jackson: "A lot of people don't like me."

Jackson: "I originally wanted to be an astronaut when I was a kid. Then I had this huge fear of black holes because my brother learned a bunch of stuff about it, and he's like, 'Oh, yeah, if you go into one you're never coming back.'"

Jackson: "Some people try to cyber bully me; they try to get to me with words, but that doesn't really work."

Jackson: "They always say, 'Time heals.' But it really doesn't. You just get used to it. I live life with the mentality of 'OK, I lost the only thing that has ever been important to me.' So going forward, anything bad that happens can't be nearly as bad as what happened before."

Jackson: "I do have a regular childhood."

Jackson: "A ton of kids at school have made fun of me; if I had to give advice to other girls, I would say, 'Hang loose and ignore them. They shouldn't faze you no matter how popular they think they are.'"

Jackson: "You can be, like, a totally different person on camera, and it's fun. You can take on another character, and it's awesome."

Jackson: "The whole freedom-of-speech thing is great. But I don't think that our Founding Fathers predicted social media when they created all of these amendments and stuff."

Jackson: "I consider myself black."
