For me doing Cheaper By The Dozen 2 was great because I did have a lot bigger part in that movie and every situation is different.

I went to the Performing Arts School and studied classical ballet. That attitude is something that's put into your head. You are never thin enough.

Honestly, in the beginning, it was really tough. Coming from Cincinnati, Ohio, I was just a girl who had a dream, which was to go to Los Angeles, have a career and to be able to support my family. To have a dream like that and, you know, you're not ready.

I prefer to drive myself. I guess I like to be in control.

I think probably anyone would say, the worst and the hardest things to deal with is when people say things that aren't true. Or that are kind of true but exaggerated.

For some reason I only crave fruit when I'm in a tropical place - if it's really hot in the summer or if I go to a tropical island for work. But otherwise I really don't crave it.

You know criticism when you get into this business. You accept the bad with the good, the tabloids and the positive side of it.
