During the past five years, I've learned that time flies faster than you think, and because you only live once you have to learn from your mistakes, live your dreams and be accountable.

There's a way of dealing with hardships that are healthier than going out. That's what I've learned.

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

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.

I never rebelled against my parents - I worked hard, I was responsible, and I didn't go to high-school parties.

I did get to work with Anthony Hopkins on 'The Human Stain.' If I ever manage to accomplish a quarter of what he's achieved, I'll have had one hell of a career.

I don't like to talk about politics. If you say you're a Democrat, that'll turn off Republicans, and that's half of your fan base.
