I love when clothes make cultural statements and I think personal style is really cool.

Taking a year off and going to school was the best thing I could have done after 'The Princess Diaries.' It taught me that I don't need Hollywood or a job to make me happy.

I'm always curious about how actors cry on film.

I'm convinced that a few guys I've dated are gay, and they won't admit it. I think we've all done that.

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.

I found it liberating to sing on camera. On stage, you have to indicate having a thought, and the word you are singing must indicate it as well, but on camera, you can have ideas, you can take in all the stimuli that the character would be taking in, there's a freedom you get, and you don't have the obligation to transmit each idea to the back of the house. It felt so much closer to reality for me.

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.
