“When I was young, clothes were really just about what fit, because Ashley and I were so tiny. So I understood fit before I understood style.”
“I never went shopping. That wasn't my thing. I grew up horseback riding. That was my passion. I didn't start shopping until about 16 or 17, when I could drive myself to stores and explore on my own.”
“I run around my house naked with heels all the time. It's so funny.”
“We kinda look at this as the second or third chapter of our lives. After college, most people figure out what they want to do with their lives. But we already know what we want to do in the future and that is to continue to further our business goals.”
“I still read scripts, and if something great comes along, that's great... but this is my day job. The Row is where I go every day.”
“We have been roommates our entire lives. We just bought a place together.”
“I think it's really important to be able to talk when something's wrong. I learned at a really young age that if you don't talk about it, it can drive you insane.”
“When I was in my freshman year at college I took some acting classes and found that I fell in love with it again.”
“I wear weird things sometimes. I like to drink coffee. Neither of those things have anything to do with who I am.”
“I get extra time to take the test because of my ADD. Everybody's brains works differently and I just need longer for things to register.”
“I love to learn; I really do. We'd study something in class, and I'd take it outside of class and become, like, obsessive and just research everything.”
“Our ultimate goal is to stay in business. We are not here with a specific plan. That's kind of how our entire career has evolved. We will figure things out as we go along.”
“Me and Ashley feel like we're totally different.”
“Australia is so cool that it's hard to even know where to start describing it. The beaches are beautiful; so is the weather. Not too crowded. Great food, great music, really nice people. It must be a lot like Los Angeles was many years ago.”
“How can you be organized when you're in Times Square?”
“I like to go to parties where I know everyone. How are you going to have fun with people you don't know?”
“We were always surrounded by people who knew us very well and cared about us.”
“Our career is a dream. I mean, we get to act, travel around the world, and meet cool people. What's not to love!”
“We've read scripts, and I think right now we are just focusing in on school.”
“I learned how to play the drums. When we were in pre-production, when we were still in LA, I had a couple of drum lessons and then some in Toronto. I got the one beat down and that was it.”
