Every person is so different and I don't think there is an exact match for every person. If you meet someone and they have 20 of the 25 things you want in a person, then you're pretty lucky.

Going to another country you're not in your house, you're with people you've never met before, and I think it's definitely a good growing experience.

I don't like being compared to anyone or being in a class with someone. I'm a teen actress and therefore I'm competing against Hilary Duff. We're different people like everyone else.

I get a script and it's really interesting with scripts, because you never really know. It's paper and it could be great or awful. Even scripts that are good could end up not working.

I had a soccer double, but most of what is in the movie is me!

I'm so protected in my Nickelodeon bubble and "What I Like About You." It's all pretty much the same people I've worked with and it was pretty protected.

Movies are different now than they’ve ever been – the movie world is different. I feel like studios like to make movies ike Borat more because there’s no ego, it’s like just wow. It’s cheap to make and then they do really well. So I feel like the whole movie star aspect is kind of getting blurrier. You know what I mean? Because I feel like sometimes big movie stars don’t necessarily bring good box office anymore. So I think for me, I want to do roles that are different and hopefully challenging.

‘Now I’ve tasted chocolate I’m not going back’. That’s a great line. That’s not me, that’s all the writing. I mean it’s like it doesn’t matter who plays it, it’s a great role. It’s such a funny, tongue in cheek kind of great role.

People have a preconceived notion about who I am and it's interesting. It's like picking who you want to win for the Oscars and not seeing the movie.

Well I loved the idea of playing a girl who dresses up like a dude ...

Yes! I'm also a big fan of the movie '10 Things I Hate About You,' which was also based on Shakespeare.
