I pop gum. My parents get so annoyed with me. I know my dad wishes he never taught me how to do that.

I knew I wanted to act, and I was really driven, so I kept going for it. We moved to L.A. full-time when I was 8 or 9.

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.

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

You have this way of making me feel like I can fly.

I have an older sister named Haley and she wanted to be an actress. So I wanted to be an actress. It's really funny the way that some people don't give kids enough credit for like really being driven, and really wanting to do things so badly.
