I was a super tomboy growing up.

The perfect shorts are always important.

I am close - too close - with my family.

I love to continue acting. It's my passion.

If I can play 15 when I am 25, I can play 35 when I'm 55.

I like really bad T.V.; it's a problem. Love me some reality.

When you're not the lead, you don't have as many restrictions.

I was home-schooled. My mom wasn't a fan of public school systems.

My family is large and in charge! Thats my favorite way to describe them.

I have a lot of girlfriends who are struggling out there to find good men.

My family is large and in charge! That's my favorite way to describe them.

Some of the best advice I was ever given was: 'Don't believe your own hype.'

I really like Demi Lovato. I think she is really cool, and her laugh is infectious.

George Clooney is actually a huge prankster. That's sort of his jam. I had no idea.

The song Cant Look Back Now by the Weepies reminds me of the entire Life Unexpected experience.

I like down-to-Earth characters, but I also like being able to get outside my box of knowledge.

I think it would be amazing to be a character actor and still be a lead now and then in movies.

The song 'Can't Look Back Now' by the Weepies reminds me of the entire 'Life Unexpected' experience.

I am the oldest of seven. Do my siblings think I'm super cool? I wish they thought I was super cool!

I was going to start a housekeeping business at one point because I'm really good at cleaning houses.

Working is the best way to understand and grow, as an actor, in my opinion. That's been my experience.

I like the wild characters. I like the idea of being a character actor without being a character actor.

I think everyone has their own version of romance like and I think everyone has their own romantic side.

I love scary movies, but I'd never really even seen The Vampire Diaries, up until I met [Kevin Williamson].

You see George Clooney, and you think he's suave and handsome and really charming, but he's such a goofball!

I never talk about auditions. Even if I've got the role, I won't tell people until we're literally filming it.

I was 14 or 15 when I moved to L.A. permanently, but I had been out for pilot season for a few years before that.

On the one blind date I went on, I had a backup. If I texted you the code word, you call and say my dogs are sick.

I have always been interested in art but had no formal training or experience. It's always been just what I liked, my eye for art.

Be assertive, but don't forget to look around. I realized there are other opinions that can be more useful to me than just sticking to my guns.

If someone was to tell you that you were a witch, I think that it would be somewhat like, "You've got to be kidding me! I'm out of here! You're crazy!"

As a kid, I would always shop for my back-to-school clothes at department stores. I lived in a small town, and department stores were all we had access to.

'A Walk to Remember' was a huge movie for me. I thought Mandy Moore was the coolest thing that ever happened. And Shane West - man, did I have a crush on him.

My grandmother raised me for a good portion of my life. She moved to Los Angeles with me to be an actor, so I've always had a connection with an older generation.

For me, being a girlboss is about being the boss of your own life. At 26 I still don't know what's happening in my life, but I'm asking, What will make me happy next?

I'm not even a little bit talented at the red-carpet makeup thing, but recently I did learn how to give myself dramatic-looking eyes and how to contour my cheekbones.

Honestly, I love television. I love the idea of going to work every day and getting to know your crew and having a rapport with your directors and having a family of cast.

It's important to me to just experience as much as possible and to be able to just work and meet new people and have different experiences and have as much knowledge as I can.

I've kissed in the rain so many times. I think one of my first kisses was in the rain. It was in Washington, D.C., with some kid named Dash, in eighth grade. It was in the rain.

I eat like no other; it drives everyone crazy. I eat donuts three times a day, and I probably go through four Mountain Dews a day. I'm on, like, a sugar high at all times, pretty much.

I don't like when people put their dishes in the dishwasher without scrubbing them properly because it comes out with those little white dots and then you can't get those out. And you have to rewash them.

There have been times where I have been playing a 16-year-old, and people have been like, 'She still looks 12.' I'm like, 'I'm 22. What do you mean I don't look 16?' So I'm comfortable just rocking my young body.

After Life Unexpected ended, I wanted to do something that was completely different from Lux and that show. I wanted to be able to keep my fans, but not have them confused about who I was or what my character was.

I never had a problem with social situations. A lot of times, when people are in school, they can have a little hesitancy because people are mean sometimes. I never had that problem because I never had that experience.

I've gone to prom multiple times, had fights with the principal, a relationship with my teacher. When people ask if I wish I had gone to high school, I tell them that I've acted all of that stuff out, and it just doesn't seem like fun.

I remember the moment that I realized that I was going to get the opportunity to be in my dream role, and I said, 'I just don't think life gets any better!' You have to take that moment and expand it for as long as possible because it's such a cool feeling.

I was 11 and watching soap operas with my mom, and I thought it would be cool to be an actor. I thought soap operas was going to be the dream at the time - it's obviously now not the dream, but I think soap operas are really cool. Maybe I'll go back to that.

I moved to L.A., and I lived in the Oakland Apartments, which is this notorious hub for actor children and their stage moms. For the first few years that I lived there, Hilary Duff and Frankie Muniz frequented the apartments. I was much younger than them at the time.

My best friend and I go to bed at 11 o'clock. We have such old lady schedules. Everyone's always like, 'Let's go out!' And we're always like, 'No, we don't want to.' They call us the grandmas. L.A. can get really old really quickly if you waste your life away in a club all night.
