My big break was becoming the spokesperson for Texas Instruments. Casting directors really started giving me a chance to read for projects.

I tend to have a lot of guy friends.

I think that since it's prom, you should definitely wear a long dress. You can wear a short one anytime! This is the moment when you get to be a princess, and for me, that means a sweetheart neckline, long, then pouf - out and big.

I never saw myself as a singer; I never really thought I had the voice for it.

My secret is one the world needs to know - nearly a billion people a year die from unsafe drinking water.

If someone is trying to bring you down, it only means you're above them.

Really good acting is not about dialogue. It's really just about small moments that really make the whole entire scene and the intention completely different than even maybe what the characters are saying. Two characters could be saying, "I hate you, and I don't want to be with you anymore!" But yet somehow, their toes are just inching more, you know, closer to each other. So a really big thing about acting is really just with your body.
