It's rough being a teenager in this day and age.

I've always loved working on series. The crew feels like a family and it's nice to have a regular gig that you can count on.

I think life is meant to be fun. You find work that you love and you surround yourself with people that you love. Life shouldn't be too difficult.

My whole thing is that often times when teenagers are about 18, 19, 20, 21, they get this mentality that they have to be old, they have to appear older, they can no longer be seen as a high schooler, they need to be seen as mid-20s all of a sudden even though they're only, like, 20. I'm the opposite of that.

I've actually always wanted to be able to read people's minds. My sister did a movie with super-powers and that's the one I would have wanted, so I really lucked out. The negative is that people are really cruel in their own minds, but you can weed out the bad people from the good people, and then just hang out with the good people.

My whole thing is I want to have a backup plan because maybe I won't get another acting job after 'Fame', maybe I'll want to give up on acting in five years or whatever and I want to have something else that I enjoy just as much as I enjoy acting.

If you're going to think mean things about me or not be a true friend, then we don't need to be friends.
