Singing is a way of releasing an emotion that you sometimes can't portray when you're acting. And music moves your soul, so music is the source of the most intense emotions you can feel. When you hear a song and you're acting it's incredible. But when you're singing a song and you're acting it's even more incredible.

It's sad, actually, because my anxiety keeps me from enjoying things as much as I should at this age.

Intimacy is a wonderful thing. It's frustrating that growing up I thought it was wrong. It isn't. Exploring your sexuality is important when you're growing up.
My dad, he is such a soft man. Even if he has these opinions about my boyfriends, he will be the sweetest guy. He will make you feel like you're fascinating and awesome, even if he doesn't like you that much.
I have to feel good on the inside to look glamorous.
I'm most comfortable in my birthday suit.
I like to keep people guessing.
I think I'm past the age of getting lost.
It's really easy to avoid the tabloids. You just live your life and don't hang out with famous people who are in the tabloids. Don't do anything controversial and be a normal person. Have friends. And get a job and keep working.
I would love to live in Paris and speak French. That would make me feel glamorous!
I sacrificed six years in L.A. I did my job out here. I made contacts and did the work I had to do.
I'm trouble, but in a good way.
Singing was my first love and I never even considered it after I started acting, but now I'm bringing it back into my life. I trained from the ages of 11 to 17. When I moved to New York and got into serious acting, I just kind of abandoned the whole singing thing. But when I grew up in Pennsylvania I went to voice lessons once a week.
If you can't pronounce a word correctly, just don't use it.
I always wanted to make people feel something.
When I was a preteen, I got into singing, and became really obsessed with it. But then, of course, that didn't work out.
I have only really gotten by with playing versions of myself as most young actors do.
I just can't wait for the future.
I get unreasonably nervous before talk shows.
A film set is really delicate and people treat you very very well if you're an actor because they want you to be as comfortable as possible for you to do your work, but it really is just one in a team of many and usually 150 people.
No matter what's happening in my life, I can always get lost in the romances of my characters.
I didn't like fairy tales when I was younger. I found a lot of fairy tales scary. They really didn't sit well with me.
When you start using test audiences, it becomes more scientific than it is about the work itself, and that's boring.
Hollywood is just like high school: The popular people love the other popular people. And the thing is, some people aren't nice. Or they are nice, but only to your face, not elsewhere.
I'm pretty sure I would never do a full frontal in a movie - for personal reasons, I wouldn't really want to show that.
I make hats. I'm on a hat frenzy. I'm on my eighth and I love it.
I did theatre when I was nine, I think. Nine and ten, and that was just the beginning of my whole involvement in acting, my whole interest. I don't really remember it that well. But it was really fun. I mean, it was exciting just to be on stage in front of an audience. It gives you a different kind of rush.
I was naturally skinny and had braces, so I wasn't a cute model.
I don't think it's really possible to share someone in most cases.
I'm good with getting older because I feel like, one day, I know I will love myself.
I don't dye my hair and I can go without makeup.
Well, it's very easy for me to gain weight, but even though I tried not eating for a week when I was really young, I couldn't do it any longer because I liked my food too much.
You don't have to listen to those mean girls. They're just there to make you upset and make you feel bad about yourself. And you know, inside, they feel bad about themselves too. But they don't wanna admit it to anybody.
It changes you a little bit every time you either break someone's heart or get your heart broken.
Marriage, at this point in my life? I'm not interested in it. Yet. Maybe later when I'm 35 or 40.
I remember I had a fight with my friend when I touched a boy for the first time and I didn't tell her. She got mad with me, not because I didn't tell her but because I'd done it in the first place.
I have jeans with holes in them and I have nice jeans. I have casual and I have dressy jeans. I've got all kinds.
Waxing my legs is pretty much the only thing I have to maintain.
We all get stuck. We all lose ourselves a little bit in a fantasy or in our jobs and forget how we feel about other things. It's really important to check yourself, to spend some time alone.
I found a lot of fairy tales scary. They really didn't sit well with me.
It was a big deal to me to play characters and feel things and connect to somebody in a fake world.
When taxidermy is done well it's an amazing piece of art.
I went to art school when I was little. I took ballet lessons. I played a little kick ball. I was sort of into everything because I had too much energy and I didn't know where to put it. When I was a preteen, I got into singing, and became really obsessed with it.
I have written some songs, but I would really call what I've done poetry at the end of the day, because I'll sit with my guitar for hours and hours on end for, like, a week and then I won't touch it for a month. I also just have no confidence. And you know what? I don't have time, because I'd rather be doing other things, like knitting.
Making people laugh is magic. I feel like if you have humility, then you can do anything in comedy.
Hollywood is just like high school. The popular people only like the other popular people. And the thing is, some people aren't nice - or they're nice, but only to your face, not elsewhere.
I'm not really into clubbing, I like to go to parties after events, and those do end up at clubs or bars. But in my free time I go grocery shopping or to the gym, or I talk on the phone.
I've auditioned for roles that involved voice, but I don't like it. I feel like, I can't do this in front of you. It seems so separate - I don't share it with a lot of people. And I'm not into public performances.
I have a dirty mouth sometimes, and I'm very liberal, and that doesn't always go down well in the film industry - especially when you've got to appeal to mums and daughters.
