Everyone has highs and lows that they have to learn from, but every morning I start off with a good head on my shoulders, saying to myself, 'It's going to be a good day!'.

Life is full of risks anyway; why not take them?
Never say never. The things that you don't plan are the best. I'm a very spontaneous person.
On a day when you're tired, it's important to just say good morning to everyone so they're kind of aware that it's gonna be a good day. Jamie Lee Curtis told me that.
I'm not that girl from Freaky Friday any more! I'm a real adult. In fact, I hate children! I hate them all!
Beauty is grace and confidence. I've learned to accept and appreciate what nature gave me.
My motto is: Live every day to the fullest - in moderation.
I'm the hardest working person I know. I'm 20 years old - is it a crime to want to go out dancing with my friends?
I am happy being able to play roles with people my age because once you do something really mature there is no turning back.
My mum says, 'Go with your first instinct,' but this can lead to impulse buying!
I've become more of a homebody, and I like that.
Obviously, I want to sell records, but I do it because I find it therapeutic. In music I can be myself.
My mom is going to kill me for talking about sleeping with people. But I don't want to put myself in the position where I'm in a monogamous relationship right now. I'm not dating just one person. 'Sex and the City' changed everything for me because those girls would sleep with so many people.
I'm not going to deny the fact that I've tried pot. I hated it.
I never rebelled against my parents - I worked hard, I was responsible, and I didn't go to high-school parties.
Say 'no' more than 'yes,' and just make sure you surround yourself with good people.
It's my body. And I like my body. And I like my breasts. And no, they're not fake.
This is what I asked for, and in this day and age that's what actually goes on. But what hurts me the most is that I work just as hard as any other actress around my age, like Scarlett Johansson, but I just don't get the opportunities that they get because people are so distracted by the mess that I created in my life.
I'm really in touch, whether it's prayer or meditation... there are so many powers greater than me in the world. I've been blessed and lucky enough to have been given a gift to share with other people.
My brother Cody is 19. He wants to stay out of the limelight and become a lawyer. I want him to be an entertainment lawyer, so he can help me out!
My little sister Aliana's opinions are the most important to me. She says, 'I want to look like you, you're so pretty!' But she is very beautiful and so she is trouble in the making! She wants to do what I do. I'm like her second mother and I am very protective of her.
I have always admired and had enormous respect for Elizabeth Taylor. She was not only an incredible actress but an amazing woman as well.
I think my biggest focus for myself is learning how to continue to get through the trauma that my father has caused in my life.
I write most of my own lyrics for my album and I am helping to produce some of the songs as well.
Because I'm so much in the spotlight, people lose sight of why I'm in the industry. In fact, I'm doing all this because I love to act. I love to perform, to sing.
I don't know if I am cut out to playing a bad character or not - I really should give it a shot. I would like to play the voice of a baddie, but that's really just a cop-out!
I write a lot of lyrics and I'm involved in the producing process, because it's like, if I'm singing it, I want it to be something that I can relate to.
I'm 20 years old. I like to party as much as anyone my age. Going clubbing is my way of relaxing or releasing a lot of stress. I don't feel that I should have to justify that part of my life. I don't know that I'm necessarily an addict.
I just love fashion. I think it just expresses who you are so much.
I want to get married before I'm 30. And I'd like to win an Oscar before then.
I hate the bad rap that people give my parents. Because they are just parents, really, at the end of the day trying to stand up for their daughter and themselves.
I want to give back. I want to do all the things that will make me feel fulfilled. But whenever I do those things, people think it's a press stunt or something.
I did get to work with Anthony Hopkins on 'The Human Stain.' If I ever manage to accomplish a quarter of what he's achieved, I'll have had one hell of a career.
Substance abuse is a disease which doesn't go away overnight. I'm working hard to overcome it. I did fail my recent drug test. I'm prepared to face the consequences.
There's a way of dealing with hardships that are healthier than going out. That's what I've learned.
I want to be remembered for the work that I've done, rather than the car accidents that I've gotten into, the men that I've not dated - or the man that I have.
Normalcy is not interesting.
I still need to go through the process of proving myself.
I would switch roles with Madonna for a day. Or if Audrey Hepburn was still alive, Audrey Hepburn. I love Audrey Hepburn. She's one of my idols, also.
It's so weird that I went to rehab. I always said that I would die before I went to rehab. But I thought, 'I'm going to stay here tonight.' And I stayed there for a month. It was great.
When I did 'Parent Trap,' I was ten. I was thrown off by the whole fame thing.
I'm not skinny for the wrong reasons. It's not because I'm bulimic or anorexic or doing drugs. Compared to a lot of actresses my age, I'm actually overweight.
I'll probably pursue doing more movies, but not horror or movies with killers in them. I'll try to stick to happy movies. I want to act and direct like Jodie Foster. I admire her because she went to college and she's still doing the same thing.
How can you not like Britney Spears?
I really enjoy singing and I really enjoy acting, but singing I've been doing since I was really young.
I hate it when people call me a teen queen.
If I dated as many people as they said I have, then I would be dead, because it's just not possible.
I want to win an Oscar. I want to be known for more than, like, going out. For being the 'party girl'. I hate that. I bust my ass when I'm filming and when I have time off, yeah, I like to go out and dance.
I'm an angel compared to some of my friends.
Marriage is a big deal, but who's to say I'm not going to pull a Vegas and get married to see what it's like for a minute?
