“I have a very close relationship with my mom, and I'm able to talk to her about anything.”

“So basically, I graduated high school a semester early.”

“I don't read blogs, I don't have MySpace, I don't have Facebook or Twitter - none of that.”

“I want to entertain.”

“I don't like it when you look too styled and wear one designer from head to toe.”

“After being in a gym, you're super hungry all the time because you're burning all these calories.”

“The sexiest thing about style is if you kind of just take your personality and put it in what you wear. That's what I think is cool.”

“I enjoy yoga a lot, not even for the workout.”

“You do a film for a short time period - you put it all out there and move on.”

“With things in my personal life, if I talk about it, it doesn't stay personal.”

“There's a very small percentage of people that take limos to school and have $2000 handbags - no one in my high school had that!”

“I love seeing live music.”

“That's the great thing about New York, there's always something to do.”

“My schedule can be hectic, so I'm always trying to find time to see my friends and family.”

“When you're working on a lake and it's dark and cold out and you can't see what's underwater, it is freaking scary!”

“I'm not the healthiest eater, but I try to watch what I eat during the week. I kind of splurge on the weekends and eat french fries and pizza.”

“A lot of people say about 'Gossip Girl,' 'Well, how do you feel about gossip?' Well, who really likes gossip? No one likes to be talked about if it's not flattering or a compliment.”

“I'm going to have fans and I'm going to have people who don't like everything I do. All I can really do is go to work and do my job.”

“I'm from Wisconsin, and I love snowboarding, hiking, yoga and soccer.”

“I'm just a normal girl who really enjoys her job, and so you have to take the other things that come with being in the public eye.”
