“I love the term, it’s great. But I think people put too much pressure on people to be perfect and to portray that image, when really what we should be aspiring to is having role models that should be themselves because people make mistakes,” Ariel said (via People). “They are human, and I think that’s really important. That’s what I aim to be is just me.”
