My grandmother lives with my mother in a gorgeous house in the San Fernando Valley. I am afforded these luxuries, and I'm very young.

I'm not a very 'this is planned out' person when I get to set. 'This is how I'm going to do it' - I'm never like that.

It's nice when the movie is not on your shoulders, too. It's fun to do a smaller part sometimes.

When I go away to do a movie, I bring the blanket I've had since I was a little girl. It helps me sleep. I also always bring my laptop so I can E-mail friends. And I bring my dog, Beauty, wherever I can.

I'm a person who likes to hang out. I would never go on a blind date. That sounds like the most uncomfortable thing on the planet earth. It's like, 'Hi. Nice to meet you. So, what kind of music do you like?' Date ended.

I hate red carpet photographs!

I think you see in people's eyes what they've been through. Anything in their lives shows up in their eyes.
