This is what I asked for, and in this day and age that's what actually goes on. But what hurts me the most is that I work just as hard as any other actress around my age, like Scarlett Johansson, but I just don't get the opportunities that they get because people are so distracted by the mess that I created in my life.

I want to give back. I want to do all the things that will make me feel fulfilled. But whenever I do those things, people think it's a press stunt or something.

Obviously, I want to sell records, but I do it because I find it therapeutic. In music I can be myself.

I hate it when people call me a teen queen.

The way I see it, the longer I live here the less of a choice you will all have not to hire me for plays.

Marriage is a big deal, but who's to say I'm not going to pull a Vegas and get married to see what it's like for a minute?

Everyone has highs and lows that they have to learn from, but every morning I start off with a good head on my shoulders, saying to myself, 'It's going to be a good day!'.
