“Being a teenager is an amazing time and a hard time. It's when you make your best friends - I have girls who will never leave my heart and I still talk to. You get the best and the worst as a teen. You have the best friendships and the worst heartbreaks.”

“Because sorry to say, women run the house. They run the family. They hold things up. I mean, it's like you don't ever see your mom get sick because she handles everything. And it's kind of amazing I think to show people just how strong women are.”

“Of course, everybody makes mistakes, and we've all been young and stupid. But people need to have a sense of respect, particularly in this business, because hundreds of people are ready to take your place at any time. Maybe some people should think about that.”

“So, I'm always around video games but I've always been interested in them from a visual perspective, with the graphic design and that whole thing. I don't know if that comes from my love of photography or what but that's always what's held my interest about them.”

“I was a total education geek. I loved school. I loved learning. I loved doing homework. All of my books and notebooks from high school are underlined and highlighted and there are notes all over the margins. And you know, I was a theater kid too. I was all over the place.”

“I think it's easy for people to assume that fame is equal to glory, but it can be a very isolating experience.”

“I was lucky. My family is wonderful. And it's funny, because most of my best friends come from very large families. So it always felt as if I had lots of siblings, though in the end I had to leave them and go home. I kind of got the best of both worlds as a kid.”

“I think the sexiest thing on anybody is intelligence. I respect somebody who has a brain and wants to use it more than a pretty face and status.”

“It devastates me now that I have been reduced to a Hollywood statistic - another joke marriage.”

“Your body tells you what it needs, and if you sleep past your alarm on a Saturday morning, it's probably because you need the sleep.”

“I like all of the mental, psychological thriller movies too. I enjoy horror movies across the board.”

“The more that I know of politics, the more it makes me realize that being a politician is largely useless.”

“I've always been the long-term relationship, go-home-and-meet-mom girl.”

“There are fundamentalist psychopaths in every religion in the world. Every single one.”

“All the sudden high-impact stress can really take a toll on your body. So if you still want to be active and get in a good workout, go to a yoga class or pilates class, or get in some strength and conditioning.”
