I never rebelled against my parents - I worked hard, I was responsible, and I didn't go to high-school parties.

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 know that in my past I was young and irresponsible - but that's what growing up is. You learn from your mistakes.

I'm learning how to deal with life in a different light than I have before and in a different way than I have before.

It's so hard for people to even believe that there was a lesson to be learned at all, because they just think I'm wrong.

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.

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?

I want to interact with my fans, and I want to let people know what I'm doing and stuff like that because I'd want to know.

I want to act and direct like Jodie Foster. I admire her because she went to college and she is still doing the same thing.

I am happy being able to play roles with people my age because once you do something really mature there is no turning back.

As long as I stay honest with myself and just do the work that I am willing to do, and have been willing to do and am doing.

Great actors who I want to work with-have such a misconception of who I am because of all the things that get said about me.

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 feel like the modeling industry is a little bit more accepting of women who make mistakes. They appreciate the idea of icons.

Thank you Prince for all of your inspiration and sharing your increadible talents with the world. You will be incredibly missed.

I saw my whole life in front of me, and I had to let go of past things that I was trying to hold on to that were dark in my life.

It's hard in L.A. not to go out, it gets lonely. Being an actress is lonely, and I never want to be alone. I hate sleeping alone.

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.

My mom is very close to me, and it has been really cool having a mom that's closer to my age because she can go out with me and stuff.

It's funny because being comedic and happy and lighthearted is who I am as a person, so they're easier emotions for me to connect with.

If you're fighting with your boyfriend, you can go to the movies and cry it out and leave happy because the ending of the film is happy.

So many people around me would say they cared for the wrong reasons. A lot of people were pulling from me, taking from me and not giving.

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 did say that I wanted to be a young mom, just because my mom was a young mom. It is better because I can be closer to my kids and stuff.

When I was younger, I started taking singing lessons and dance and acting. I just started acting first because that's how everything happened.

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!

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.

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.

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 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 just feel as though it's become a situation where people have manifested this caricature of who I am, and they act as if there's no real person inside of it.

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.

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.

I love doing photo shoots... I mean, if I could just sign with IMG and do ad campaigns and model more, I’d do that... Because that’s fun for me. That’s not work.

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 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.

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.

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 live without regrets. There are certain things I have done, mistakes that I made, that I would change, but I don't regret them at all, because I've learnt from them.

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!'.

I have been informed that he has started false allegations regarding myself and the cause of my illness. It angers me to see that my own father would stoop to such a level.

I like to do movies, because I love becoming different characters, and telling different stories through different eyes, and affecting someone's life in one way or another.

I've never been a junkie, and never will be. I just like going out late to clubs with friends and listening to music. Always have done. It's not that unusual for girls of 26.

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!

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.

During the past five years, I've learned that time flies faster than you think, and because you only live once you have to learn from your mistakes, live your dreams and be accountable.

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.

It's okay for someone to chase me and then try to cut me off so I ram my car into a tree . . . I mean, I know this guy was trying to do his job, but his "job" almost landed me half-dead.

I think it's a lot more interesting to watch a character go through a transition in a movie. You love her and then you almost want to not like her because she gets mean and gets 'lost' and everything.
