When a casting agent sees me, he kind of knows what he's getting.

Kids need to open up to their parents. And parents should realize that when kids are pushing you away, that's the time to really step in.

I think it really makes a difference when you know the people that you're working with, when you develop a relationship.

I just feel so sexy when I'm salsa dancing and wearing the salsa clothes. I love dancing.

I actually have a stash of wigs for Halloween. But only for that. Not to play dress-up.

I really don't get nervous when I perform - it's more of an exciting feeling than anything else. But put me in a classroom with kids my age and have me take a test and yeah, I'll be nervous!

My mom sent me to regular high school because she wanted me to have that experience and not say that I missed out, but I didn't like it at all. I'm more comfortable in the world that I'm in, I grew up in it so when I get around normal kids in regular high school I don't know what to do. I feel more secure in an adult environment.

I'm already a tiny person, so now I'm trying to go to the gym to add muscle. I need it!

I really wanted to pursue music, but all those other girls are doing it and it is annoying.

The Internet has become a tool to pick on people and ruin someone's life. I don't think parents realize what's going on.

I think I am too old to be doing teen movies. I am just kind of annoyed, because you have all these teen movies coming out with usually either Lindsay Lohan or Hilary Duff doing four of the exact teen movies over and over again.

There will always be someone being picked on at school, and it's not going to go away.

I hang out with all the crew on set. It just makes it easier to work. You feel more comfortable around everyone.

I was raised by a very strict, good mother, so I wont be getting out of line anytime soon.

I'd like to go to NYU business school and then go on to film school.

I consider my mom and all my sisters my friends.

I guess if you are making more money than your mom and dad, you can set your own boundaries.

I need a SUV, for me and my four sisters. So, I've narrowed it down to four, kind of expensive, cars.

Guys are so easygoing and girls are a little harder to please, but that's okay.

I don't know what to say when I have a crush on somebody. I kind of lose my words. I really try to start a conversation, and I can't. It's horrible.

Well, because I'm naturally a tomboy, when I have sleepovers with girls, they end up going home and crying.

I love taking on roles that I haven't yet done in my career.

I am taking belly dancing now. My hips are double-jointed, so I can do it really easily.

I love doing comedy. It's a lot of fun.

I'm an outgoing person when it comes to friends, but when it comes to being confident and sexy, the sexy word scares me.

I really look up to actors like Gwyneth Paltrow and Cate Blanchett who have a strong background in theatre.
