“I definitely have guys that I'm friends with that I have a crush on, and you don't want to ruin the friendship.”

“Everybody in L.A. wants to be an actor. I just wish I could meet somebody who doesn't act or sing.”

“I've had journals ever since I was really little. Sometimes I write poems and stuff, but for the most part I write down what happens to me during the day that I don't want to forget. So I have books filled with little things like that.”

“I do text a lot. Sometimes, at night, my thumbs hurt because I've texted so much, so I definitely text too much.”

“I'm on the Web a lot. I like to play games online. Sometimes I play Sims.”

“As far as movies, I love 'The Notebook.' I always say that I wish I could play Rachel McAdams' character. She's amazing. That's the movie every girl wants to be in.”

“My friends and I have always loved the Neutrogena brand and their ability to help inspire confidence. So when I found out I was actually going to be part of the Neutrogena family, I was really excited.”

“When I was 5, I started taking singing lessons, and then, after 'School of Rock,' I started taking guitar lessons. I would always write songs and play them for my friends, and I would play my guitar on the set a lot.”

“I've been acting for a while, but theater is pretty different. I've never been in a play.”

“Sometimes I get kind of bored if I go like a month or so and I'm not doing anything. At first I'm like, 'Cool, I'll have a little time off and I'll get to hang out with friends,' but then after a little while goes by I'm like, 'Oh,' and I really wish that I could go back and start doing work again.”

“I'm lucky because my two best friends are from kindergarten so they never thought that it was a big deal that I was in acting; they don't even ever talk about it. They still act all confused, like, 'What's going on?' when we go places and people come up to me.”
