I wasn't to make an album that's going to make people say 'WOW! I thought she was just some stupid little teen pop girl who didn't know what was going on' I want to prove people wrong.
When girls feel bad about their looks, 60 percent avoid normal daily activities like raising their hand in class or even going to the doctor. That means that girls do not show up for life when they don't feel good enough or pretty enough. A role model can help girls see beauty as a source of confidence, not anxiety.
I'm extremely-extremely sensitive. I can cry at the drop of a hat. I'm such a girl when it comes to that. Anything upsets me. I cry all the time. I cry when I'm happy too.
It's a lot more fun to play the bitch than it is to play the perfect girl 'cause everybody has a bad side inside of them.
Growing up in the public spotlight and having insecurities like every other girl, I really know what it's like to feel self-conscious.
I don't cook very well at all. I'm the girl that can't make scrambled eggs.
We sometimes think that being a celebrity is the same as being a role model. But a role model is actually someone you can touch, talk to and dream with.
I don't have the self-confidence to walk around in a miniskirt and heels and a tube top. I'm still trying to learn to love and accept my body.
I had just laid down to go to sleep and got up to use the restroom and I thought it was just like a dispute or something.
?Nobody goes to Hollywood with their boyfriend or girlfriend, like he's dead weight I can't have him in my life anymore? and I just think she was just really frustrated with how simple he was.
I think I had the most fun making a movie with 'Dedication,' just because you knew that it was a passion project for everyone involved. We had X amount of days to shoot New York in the cold. No trailers. Just sort of kind of doing it guerilla style in a way.
It all evolved from the fact that I'm totally the jeans and T-shirt girl. If I can get away with wearing jeans and a T-shirt somewhere, I'll do it,
I think it's the fun and the challenge as an actress to get a meaty part like this and sort of play against type. Sally is pretty far from who I am, so I definitely enjoyed it.
I think it's really interesting. It's really great to experience it. We learn about it in government class, but it's good to come here and learn it.
