I love entertaining and making people laugh. It's my favorite thing to do.
A big part of why I wanted to go to college is to meet people and make friends.
It's Crazy when I watch myself on TV. I'm always thinking like 'oh no how could I have done that' and I go crazy like seeing these little things that I do that probably other people would never even notice and stuff like that.
I think the Beatles are a lot of people's favorite band.
I love entertaining people and making them laugh. It's my favorite thing to do.
I'm lucky because my two best friends are from kindergarten so they never thought that it was a big deal that I was in acting; they don't even ever talk about it. They still act all confused, like, 'What's going on?' when we go places and people come up to me.
Everybody in L.A. wants to be an actor. I just wish I could meet somebody who doesn't act or sing.
My friends and I have always loved the Neutrogena brand and their ability to help inspire confidence. So when I found out I was actually going to be part of the Neutrogena family, I was really excited.
My two best friends have gone through break-ups that were really hard, and I remember thinking, 'How could this be so hard and important to them?' Literally for months they were really upset and they couldn't get over it. I had no idea what it was like. And now that I've been through it, I totally understand.
I want to get the message out that everybody can make a difference.
When I was 5, I started taking singing lessons, and then, after 'School of Rock,' I started taking guitar lessons. I would always write songs and play them for my friends, and I would play my guitar on the set a lot.
I definitely have guys that I'm friends with that I have a crush on, and you don't want to ruin the friendship.
I'm not that rebellious. There's a part of me that wishes I was that.
It scared my mom to death when all my friends started driving. She always told me she wanted me to drive, but I think she kind of felt lucky that I didn't get my permit when all my friends did. I think that's been the hardest thing for her, watching me go out with my friends and literally drive away.
