My passion is interior decorating. My goal for the next years is to get into carpentry, because I really want to learn how to make my own furniture.

I was thrust into a really lofty, enviable, but isolated position with 'Princess Diaries' in that I could carry a film before I really knew if I could act.

Whatever you are made of, be the best of that.

I think the thing that I have learned is that a bad love experience is no reason to fear a new love experience, but you have to be very honest at every single stage with the person about how you've been hurt, and hopefully they will be supportive about whatever it is that you have to go through. Everybody has bad relationships and, at the end of the day, they are just a great way to set yourself up for a good relationship.

I have never been called too pretty for anything. That would be a problem I could get used to.

What I've observed and what I've imagined - and definitely what I'm hoping - happens as you get older is that there's a mellowing, an acceptance that comes with time. I guess that I'll find out.

I know it's not the right thing to say, but I'm really happy with my body.
