I’m not the same girl I was five years ago. Hopefully, with the choices I’m making people will start to see that I’m not just little Gabriella.
I don’t like being stagnant. I want to continue to grow and just be better at what I do, and the only way to do that is to keep stepping outside of your comfort zone.
I want to try doing sportier things, kite surfing and paddle surfing – I think it would give me that extra confidence.
I really do try to watch everything I say. Because one little tiny slip, and it’s like the world is coming to an end!
I love doing theater. That’s where my home is.
I feel like acting is something I’ve been working towards longer. And it would be great to win a Grammy, of course, but for some reason, an Oscar speaks more to me.
I had my first real kiss at Magic Mountain on a park bench. Not the most romantic thing ever.
I love Cameron Diaz, and I love Drew Barrymore.
I had a gypsy upbringing, so I moved around all over the place and can’t remember a street I grew up on.
I have a toy poodle, Shadow. She’s a little whippersnapper! And I love little monkeys.
I relate to all of my songs and I’m inspired by everything going on around me. Music comes from all different aspects of my life.
Dancing was a big part of my life, but I would never consider myself a dancer. I adore singing, and music has always been a huge part of my life, but I also enjoy acting.
I always wanted to do dramas. Ever since I was young, I wanted to be in a role where I could play a prostitute or a drug addict, because it’s nice to be able to portray someone who is so far from you, which I love.
We all have the same needs. So it’s immoral to make snap judgments about people.
Work hard and follow your dreams, but never forget where you came from.
I feel like women have an easier time separating from their characters than men do.
I think it’s really healing to see movies that are based on true stories. It builds so much more compassion and empathy.
Movies and acting are so much fun. I love playing different characters and doing different genres. It’s all still very interesting to me.
The only thing you can do through all the scrutiny and just in life in general is be true to yourself.
I love acting, but I don’t know if I’ll ever get used to it.
You can’t be a kid in show business. You will not survive.
