Victoria Justice takes the April 2011 cover of Seventeen magazine.
On her confidence: “I wasn’t always confident; that’s something I’ve grown into and am still working on. I still have so many insecurities that I’m trying to grow out of. These days beauty is something that feels so enforced. All girls, including myself, have to learn to love themselves the way they are.”
On trying things at parties: “I’m not going to lie to you: I’ve tried things. I’m not some robot who’s programmed to be perfect. I’ve been to high school parties. And even if I’ve had a drink, it’s always in a responsible way. I did go through a phase when I wanted to try smoking, and for a minute I did. But shortly after, I just kind of realized it was gross, and I didn’t like anything about it.
On the real Victoria: “I think there’s a perception out there that people know me based on these glamorous photos they see of me in magazines, but I have about 2 hours of hair and makeup and then people to dress me, to make me look even better, in those pictures.
On relationships: “You know when you have a good relationship with someone when you are just perfectly happy to be quiet and just hang out and do nothing. I want to be able to go home after work, put on my sweats, wipe off my makeup and cuddle up with someone who doesn’t care and is fine with that.”
