I want to be known for the work I’ve done, as opposed to where I go on Saturday nights...
Yes! I’m also a big fan of the movie ‘10 Things I Hate About You,’ which was also based on Shakespeare.
I get a script and it’s really interesting with scripts, because you never really know. It’s paper and it could be great or awful. Even scripts that are good could end up not working.
I don’t want to be Marilyn Monroe. In many ways, that’s a good comparison. Because Marilyn Monroe was a sexpot, all that stuff that I have no interest in. For me, it’s much easier to just try to make people laugh than to try to be the hottest thing in the world.
I’m so protected in my Nickelodeon bubble and ‘What I Like About You.’ It’s all pretty much the same people I’ve worked with and it was pretty protected.
I did theater before I got into TV and everything I did was serious, so it was definitely fun for me to pull out those chops, I definitely wanted to do a movie that just wasn’t comedy.
Being an actress isn’t as fun as it may seem. If I don’t love something, I stop doing it. I don’t love acting anymore, so I’ve stopped doing it.
I feel like people start to believe things that people say about them and start to think they’re really important. If you have a family that is down to earth and cool, I don’t see how you can be like that.
I have actor friends, but they’re not famous. I feel like if you’re an actor or – famous, you have to overly prove that you’re a normal, cool person.
I’ve never wanted to be the hottest star. I always wanted to do good movies.
It doesn’t matter if you feel sexy if you don’t look sexy.
Not having hair makes me feel like a cancer patient.
I want to be married and I want to be away from people.
Going to another country you’re not in your house, you’re with people you’ve never met before, and I think it’s definitely a good growing experience.
I’ve grown up with kids watching me and as they’re growing up, I’m growing up.
So many people comment that I’m much more mature than average. In this business, you can get taken advantage of if you’re not aware and you’re not tough.
Some people still see me as a kid, but I’m a 23-year-old woman now.
When you’re doing movies, you’re traveling all over the world and you really can’t be home.
Well I loved the idea of playing a girl who dresses up like a dude...
Slow and steady wins the race, and I believe in paying your dues.
I had a soccer double, but most of what is in the movie is me!
