I don’t think I would ever have been able to be an actress had I not started at nine years old. I would have been the last person to stand up and say, ‘I’d like to star in the play.’

Look at a picture of me before I was 15. I am a boy. I wore my brother's clothes, dude!

I'm 19, and, being a public figure, I'm supposed to present myself in a certain way, but it's hard and you're never going to be able to tell people who you are through the media.

I've realized how little sleep I actually need.

Everyone always says, 'Kristen got 'Panic Room' because she looks like Jodie Foster.' But it was actually Nicole Kidman who was supposed to play my mother.

There's no way to be prepared for a conversation with someone you don't know about something that means the world to you.

If you are going to make something forever, you should be yourself.
