I don't mind being a Disney girl.

I love change, and I love changing my hair. But it was strange to look in the mirror and think 'Who is this girl?'

I'm not someone who likes to be in the whole Hollywood tabloids.

I was always superthin, too skinny, actually. I felt like someone could break me in half. I realize now that being a bit more curvy and toned is so much more beautiful.

My agent didn't want me on Disney because I'm older. But honestly, I'm not ready for older roles yet, or even the things older girls do. I am still young.

I realized just how much exercise and eating right make a difference in how you feel now and when you get older.

I'm not just the young girl everybody thinks I am. I'm actually a woman.
