After Princess Diaries, I was labeled a good girl, and for the first eight years of my career I had to fight to get any other kind of role. But I like fighting for a job, actually. Once you get it, you feel like you've emerged victorious from the scrap and you're like, "OK, this one's mine. Did it. Done."
Taking a year off and going to school was the best thing I could have done after The Princess Diaries. It taught me that I don't need Hollywood or a job to make me happy.
I was thrust into a really lofty, enviable, but isolated position with 'Princess Diaries' in that I could carry a film before I really knew if I could act.
I kind of got my big break with 'The Princess Diaries' and during the press rounds for that everyone asked me: 'Did you always want to be a princess growing up?' And the truth was, no I wanted to be Catwoman.
I was 17 years old when I was cast in The Princess Diaries . That film landed, and it landed big. And so I became identified with a role that wasn't really me. I've never had any problem with going to the lengths of what a film demands. You can tell that by my eyebrows in The Princess Diaries .
The whole beauty of music is that it goes where your words won't let you.
I've wanted to be a mother since I was 16, but I also just knew I wanted to have a career as well.
I'm not very daring in my street style, usually because there's a photographer around!
I'll wear my mom jeans in public that haven't been tailored 'just so' yet, just because they feel good.
I'll start with one healthy kid, but I'd like to have a few naturally and adopt.
I think that Jersey Shore is awesome. I've gone to Cape May every summer of my life.
I still can't believe I'm the girl who got to play Fantine.
I sing everywhere. I have a very patient husband. He says he doesn't mind. But we've only been married a year and a half!
I damaged my health during 'Les Mis,' which I didn't want to mention in case it seemed like I was courting sympathy.
