"I love you Hilary Duff!"
"How can you not like Britney Spears?"
"I write most of my own lyrics for my album and I am helping to
produce some of the songs as well"
"I am happy being able to play roles with people my age because once
you do something really mature there is no turning back"
"I am really into listening to Beyoncé right now"
"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 really enjoy singing and I really enjoy acting, [but] singing
I've been doing since I was really young"
"Life is full of risks anyway, why not take them?"
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.
I don't like to talk about politics. If you say you're a Democrat,
that'll turn off Republicans, and that's half of your fan base."
"When I'm walking down the red carpet and everybody is screaming my
name, all I'm doing is worrying that they're thinking, like, "Oh,
she didn't wave at me, she's such a bitch!"
"It's flattering that people want to know so much about me and want
to take the time to make up that many things about me."
"I don't want to keep doing all commercial stuff. But timing is
everything. I got this one script where this girl wants to join a
Latino gang and she gets raped. I can't be doing that right now. I
don't think that's appropriate."
"But I'm not going to go and lose my virginity in a movie, yet,
because the second I do that, you can't go back. That makes me much
older in terms of film and on the screen."
"Girls my age dress so much raunchier than I'd ever imagine myself
dressing. I understand that I'm a role model, though, and I have to
look out for that. I have a 10-year-old sister, too. But you also
want to be appealing to guys and stuff, that's just something girls
feel. It's hard. You want to be that girl that's unattainable to all
the guys because there are so many other girls out there that are
like that."
"People go to college to find who they are as a person and find what
they want to do in life, and I kind of already know that so it would
be like I'd be taking a step back or something."
"You can't really complain because it's what you have to accept is
going to happen when you're in the spotlight, and you want this. And
I understand that. At the same time, it's hard when you're just
waking up, and you're going out to get your mail and there are
people there. It bugs me sometimes, of course, but I don't do it on
purpose, you know? I try to just live my life; I'm not doing stuff
like that to get noticed." [on not having privacy]
"I'm not doing Playboy, no. Never. They contacted my publicist and
they asked if I would do their 20 questions spread, which is not a
nude photo that they do with it. It's a regular photo. But I do have
a Disney movie coming out and a young fan base and I'm not
interested in doing Playboy right now in my life."
"Say no more than yes, and just make sure you surround yourself with
good people."
[On relocating to Los Angeles, California and moving in with Raven]:
"We met recently at the Vanity Fair shoot and got along. Our
apartment complex has chef and maid services."
"I was sick. I had people sit me down and say, 'You're going to die
if you don't take care of yourself.'"
