When I did 'Parent Trap,' I was ten. I was thrown off by the whole fame thing.

I wanted to do what Marilyn Monroe did (during the Korean War), when she went and just set up a stage and did a concert for the troops all by herself. It's so amazing seeing that one woman just going somewhere, this beautiful sex kitten, who's basically a pinup, which is what I've always aspired to be.

It's so hard for people to even believe that there was a lesson to be learned at all, because they just think I'm wrong.

Because I'm so much in the spotlight, people lose sight of why I'm in the industry. In fact, I'm doing all this because I love to act. I love to perform, to sing.

I love doing photo shoots... I mean, if I could just sign with IMG and do ad campaigns and model more, I’d do that... Because that’s fun for me. That’s not work.

I think a woman's body is so much more sensual than a man's. I'm not saying strip off all your clothes, but there are certain photos I like people taking of me, where I'm comfortable. As long as it's tasteful, why not?

I think it's a lot more interesting to watch a character go through a transition in a movie. You love her and then you almost want to not like her because she gets mean and gets 'lost' and everything.
