I think every actor is looking for a challenge, and to play something different, and to be a part of a project with other great actors.

This was real. And it was me. I had lived that life, and I had died that death. I was staring at the very end of me.

I can’t really act the way I want to act, or say what I want to say all the time. And a lot of times, I cover that up with a smile.

Mom always tells me to celebrate everyone's uniqueness. I like the way that sounds.

I started taking singing classes just two years ago. It was great. I never knew I could sing but I kind of found my voice.

It sounds cheesy but I think my life's kinda like a fairy tale. I worked really hard, but I'm very, very lucky too. I'm just 16 and I've done so many amazing things. I travel the world, I have fans who support me, and I get to do what I love - make movies, sing and really be myself. I have a beautiful family, a great support system, and wonderful friends - and I go shopping every week! I'm so lucky, but it's not necessarily like "A Cinderella Story."

I always feel like I'm in the five to ten pound struggle, but my life is so busy. I'm just not that concerned, really. I'm normal and I'm perfectly happy being that way. Some weeks I'm like, 'Man, my clothes are fitting so good' and then some weeks I'm like, 'I need to cut back on a few things,' but that's it. I don't fall into the trap of having to be 110 pounds.
