I have actor friends, but they're not famous. I feel like if you're an actor or - famous, you have to overly prove that you're a normal, cool person.
It's really interesting with scripts, because you never really know. It's paper and it could be great or awful. Even scripts that are good could end up not working.
Everybody wants to be liked, fit in and make people laugh. I think we're not that different.
I had a soccer double, but most of what is in the movie is me!
I want to be married and I want to be away from people.
When you're doing movies, you're traveling all over the world and you really can't be home.
Some people still see me as a kid, but I'm a 23-year-old woman now.
This is how memories are made... by going with the flow.
I wear Spanx to smooth things out. I read that Jessica Alba wears them and if she wears them, then so should I.
It doesn't matter if you feel sexy if you don't look sexy.
I'm so protected in my Nickelodeon bubble and 'What I Like About You.' It's all pretty much the same people I've worked with and it was pretty protected.
I don't want to be Marilyn Monroe. In many ways, that's a good comparison. Because Marilyn Monroe was a sexpot, all that stuff that I have no interest in. For me, it's much easier to just try to make people laugh than to try to be the hottest thing in the world.
I get a script and it's really interesting with scripts, because you never really know. It's paper and it could be great or awful. Even scripts that are good could end up not working.
Going to another country you're not in your house, you're with people you've never met before, and I think it's definitely a good growing experience.
