If I had been living through the '80s, I probably would've gotten into a lot more trouble than my parents.

I keep saying this about a mental state, but the more that I am physically active, the more that my mind is clear.

I definitely listened to country music. I don't think I listened to hair bands as much as I did Bruce Springsteen and U2 and Aerosmith.

I started out dancing on a reality TV show, but always with the intention of making my way over to film. I transitioned into the film world by doing certain things that my fans had been used to seeing me do. My dancing and singing gave me the confidence to act.

It's different when you're in a huge movie and you're being told that you can do whatever you want. It was also really cool because it helped me grow so much faster than I would have, if I did another thing where it was like, "Here's what you're saying, and that's it. Do not go off page."

I think it's important to be happy before you can make anybody else happy.

I'm just taking it one day at a time. Actually, that's a total lie. I always think about what's in front of me.
