There's nothing wrong with making little kids happy, but there's nothing wrong with wanting to be an adult actress. I mean a grown-up actress.

My biggest fear is overreaching. I have been in situations where I felt swamped, and it's turned out really well; and I've had other situations where I've had to walk off the film after five minutes because I realized I was in way over my head.

I'm not one of those stars that goes out and literally dresses to be photographed.

Everyone makes sacrifices for their job; the movie's not saying that you don't have to work hard. The movie is saying that if you're going to work hard, then make it worth it, believe in what you're doing.

I like to watch MTV for escapist pleasure, but when I saw Snooki, I saw my twin. I couldn't lose myself in the show anymore because there I was.

A man told me that for a woman, I was very opinionated. I said, 'for a man you're kind of ignorant'.

There's something wildy decadent about the young-star lifestyle, and I just don't really see the point. I got my partying out of my system in college.
