Tweeting the simple phrase "Thank you" on Monday, the 25-year-old also linked to an anti-bullying quote by Broadway's Harvey Fierstein on her Tumblr account which reads: "Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one's definition of your life; define yourself."
