A lot of moms give their kids line reads. My mom wasn't put in that position because I always had an acting teacher helping with the feelings rather than how to say something.

I don't think roles help you resolve your issues. I just think they're good markers.

When you get older, you feel better about yourself. You're not worried what other people think about you, in general. You just get more comfortable in your skin.

You know that feeling when you wake up in the morning and you're excited for the day? That's one of my main goals in life.

I really wanted the MTV Award the most, It was a golden popcorn container and it looks really neat.

Every movie I do, I always use things that have happened in my life. Funny moments, anything. If it just sticks out I'll write it down and use that, too, because it has to come out of you. But no one can work when they're depressed. I don't think I'd physically be able to do it if I were depressed.

I'm always looking for that movie that feels like it's hitting me where I need it.
