Four months filming in a foreign country. You know, it is great because you get to learn all about different cultures. I feel so much more enriched.

Ice skating is very difficult. It takes a lot of discipline and a lot of hard work. It's fun, but you are there on the ice every morning freezing and trying to do these moves and these tricks.

I was always wanting to learn and be one of those actresses who can actually hold a conversation as opposed to standing there looking pretty.

I feel that in order to truly be an actor, you have to differentiate yourself and your roles, and you have to constantly challenge yourself. I'm not interested in just doing glitzy movie after glitzy movie and being on the cover of Us Weekly every day.

My mother was there every day of the production. You know what? My mother and I are so close, she really understands the fact that I am 18 and I am maturing. I guess I am not your average 18 year-old

I am excited to be on set. I love what I do. As long as I have that feeling, then I'm gonna stick to it. As long as I'm lucky enough to get projects and keep working, I will always be grateful for it.

I know that there are a billion girls out there that would kill to be in my position, and I never forget that.
