When you spend your entire life as a child actress, being told where to go and where to stand, you're performing constantly for people. It definitely breeds the kind of person who's dependent on other people's approval.

Madonna is my role model shes such a powerful woman. I love Gwenyth Paltrow, shes an actress I aspire to be like. And, of course, my mom. She drove me from New Jersey to New York every day for commercials so I could get where I am today.

I want to play an action hero. I'm ready for roles that totally aren't me.

It's always nice when people appreciate your work because it means you've affected them, which is great. And so that feels good.

A singer is someone who puts out an album. That's a very generous description.

When you have a beanpole body, everything looks cute. Like Alexa Chung. I like her style, but she's really tall and skinny, so everything looks good on her.

So many teen films are overproduced and people are going to burnout on the subject.
