I mean, I don't like anyone who likes themselves too much.

I think the main reason a lot of child stars don't make it is that it's hard to see someone as cute and then all of a sudden see them as having more depth.

When I was younger, I did self-mutilate. I'd be upset, so I'd do it, & it would calm me down. It's a horrible way to feel better. But there are two parts of your brain - one that really wants to destroy the other. & sometimes the idea of self-destruction is very romantic. I got over that.

It's so normal for a teenager to dress in black -- and be real unhappy and stay in your room and say sarcastic things. How could something so normal be considered morbid?

I love the solitude of being on a plane and finally getting to read an entire book and being left alone.

I went through an awkward adolescence and had braces.

I'm trying to just go with the flow and learn from the people around me.
