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

Music is so powerful to me. I had my IPod and headphones, and my sad playlist. I kind of ventured off for just a little bit to get into the scene.

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

Actually, the kids at school don't treat me any differently at all just because I'm on television.

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 literally finished 7th Heaven, went up to Toronto, and started SAW. So, it was definitely a little mind change.

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