Part of growing up is just taking what you learn from that and moving on and not taking it to heart.

I was in New York and I walked into this pet store and came out with a dog.

If I had to give one piece of advice to incoming college freshmen, I'd say always be true to yourself.

Sure, I have a job now, but the acting business isn't always that solid, and so I wanted something to fall back upon.

I was strong enough not to let them get the best of me, but I'm definitely one who has taken what people say to heart and let it eat away at me.

I think it's so important to keep learning and keep your brain active.

I think the hardest part about being a teenager is dealing with other teenagers - the criticism and the ridicule, the gossip and rumors.
