As I get older, I don't settle. I'd rather tell somebody 'This is what I want-take it or leave it.'
Somebody who's passionate about life and does their own thing.
I like jewellery because it's forever. Flowers die, chocolates get eaten and lingerie wears out in the wash. Plus, the girl is reminded of you every time she wears it. It's a wise move.
Yes! I'm also a big fan of the movie '10 Things I Hate About You,' which was also based on Shakespeare.
Well I loved the idea of playing a girl who dresses up like a dude ...
I say I never wanna get married. I feel trapped with the idea of marriage. How can you really be with somebody forever? I'd get bored! As I get older, I don't settle. I'd rather tell somebody 'This is what I want - take it or leave it.
I've grown up with kids watching me and as they're growing up, I'm growing up.
So many people comment that I'm much more mature than average. In this business, you can get taken advantage of if you're not aware and you're not tough.
I've never wanted to be the hottest star. I always wanted to do good movies.
If you're not hot I don't care about you.
I'm far from perfect, but I'll be perfect for that imperfect person that's perfect for me.
We try to magnify the difference between Americans and the English. In real life they like the same music and dress the same. It's really much more similar than anyone thinks or how we show it.
I really enjoy acting, and whether it's TV or films, I feel lucky to be doing it at all. In the end, I'd love to do films, but I'm not going to work just to do work. I only want to do something that I feel right about.
I don't like being compared to anyone or being in a class with someone. I'm a teen actress and therefore I'm competing against Hilary Duff. We're different people like everyone else.
