For me, getting comfortable with being famous was hard - that whole side of it, the loss of anonymity, the loss of privacy. Giving up that part of your life and not having control of it.

I'd been taking singing lessons and I had taken dance, because I loved to dance, but I had never considered myself a professional at all.

Acting is kind of brutal.

Just standing around looking beautiful is so boring.

I've never lost my love for acting. I feel really at home on the movie set. I'm a more balanced person honestly when I'm working.

You can have it all, but you can't do it all.

I said, going into acting, 'I'm never moving to L.A.,' because it scared me. But there was no way you could build an acting career in Orange County.
