I once dated a guy who was like, 'Holy sh--, I just made out with Harriet the Spy!' And that's messed up. Don't say that. I was 10, you're 30, it's just weird.
The sexy moments for me, I wasn't thinking of them as sexy. I was thinking of them as more specific to my character. So it was necessary for my character's development in the movie, so that's how I played it.
Ice skating is very difficult. It takes a lot of discipline and a lot of hard work. It's fun, but you are there on the ice every morning freezing and trying to do these moves and these tricks.
I know that there are a billion girls out there that would kill to be in my position, and I never forget that.
The way to my heart is by being truthful and spontaneous.
My mother was there every day of the production. You know what? My mother and I are so close, she really understands the fact that I am 18 and I am maturing. I guess I am not your average 18 year-old
I am excited to be on set. I love what I do. As long as I have that feeling, then I'm gonna stick to it. As long as I'm lucky enough to get projects and keep working, I will always be grateful for it.
If you're not falling, you're not training hard enough.
Four months filming in a foreign country. You know, it is great because you get to learn all about different cultures. I feel so much more enriched.
I was always wanting to learn and be one of those actresses who can actually hold a conversation as opposed to standing there looking pretty.
The core for everything is to be grateful. It's literally as simple as that. I've always known that I'm lucky to be an actress, and I'm lucky to be a working actress. I'm lucky to have garnered attention for certain roles, and I'm grateful for it.
I have many valentines. My mom and my sister and my directors. I got calls from all of them. And my friends. I respect what Valentine's Day stands for because it is about love
I just feel - specifically about that holiday - why is it just one day that you have to tell the person that you love how much you love them? I think that is a little silly. I am much more the girl that likes the spontaneous.
I don't like to search too much. I find it is easier when romance finds you.
