Mandy Moore

“I love the idea of getting up early on Sundays and walking to the market to pick up fresh fruits and vegetables. It's a good way to start my day, and it makes me feel like I've accomplished something before other people are even awake.”

“I like being friends with other women who are supportive of women. I think that is important.”

“'Wild Hope' just felt like such a selfish venture to me. It was a way for me to get out of my head, get some clarity on certain situations, and finally be a part of something that I was completely behind creatively and proud of.”

“I'm a spiritual person and a religious person. But for me, it's all a personal thing. I'm not someone who'll say, 'This is what I believe, and you should too!' It's more of an internal, quiet, grounded, fulfilling thing for me.”

“I'm really kind of boring - I'd rather go to bed early and get up early because I really value my time off, my time away from work.”

“We are in a culture where it's so easy to just turn things off that you don't like. And I think that doesn't make you a well-rounded person or artist. You have to be able to take the good with the bad and have opinions on things!”

“Love is like nothing else on this earth, but only when it is shared with someone wonderful like you.”

“I want to be in New York. It's the place to be.”

“My hair's naturally dirty-dishwater light brown. Ugly.”

“We sometimes think that being a celebrity is the same as being a role model. But a role model is actually someone you can touch, talk to and dream with.”

“Sweet is good. I'm not a fan of deep-fried things.”

“Developing a relationship with someone you admire, who can encourage you to reach your full potential, is something that everyone can benefit from.”

“Go to the doctor, get a checkup, and get Pap smears regularly. Cervical cancer is very preventable, and if you catch it early, there are tons of ways to treat it as well.”

“I want to go to college to study journalism. I want to speak French fluently, to travel. My mom was a journalist and it's in my blood.”

“I love film, but it's bringing me away from music. Singing is what I'm probably most passionate about.”

“People who grew up watching Disney films like myself, there are films that are certain benchmarks in my childhood. 'The Little Mermaid' was the first movie I remember seeing. 'Beauty And The Beast,' 'Aladdin,' those are three I remember right off the bat.”

“I just don't want to be known as the actress who can sing. I want to be known as the singer who can act, too. It's great cross-promotion.”

“I have ambitions to do a Broadway record one of these days and get in the studio with like, a real orchestra. I'm a big musical theatre geek.”

“We live in a world where it's difficult to be a woman who is strong and confident, so I like to surround myself with friends that embody that same principle and idea.”

“I'm learning to accept everything that I am. I've accepted that I'm not going to be a stick-thin-model kind of girl. When I was 14, I was tall and spindly. By the time I turned 18, I had become a woman, and my body's not going to go back to what it looked like when I was 14.”
