The Lion King always makes me cry, especially when Simba's father gets trampled.

I try to live my life, do what I want, and just let everything else follow along.

I feel like women have an easier time separating from their characters than men do.

Do not just look at your boyfriend as just a boyfriend. Look at him as a friend, too.

I have a toy poodle, Shadow. She's a little whippersnapper! And I love little monkeys.

If there's a spotlight on you, people are going to look for a reason to bring you down.

I get to go to all these beautiful places, so it's nice being able to take pictures of it.

Confidence is key. Sometimes, you need to look like you're confident even when you're not.

If you're someone that people look up to, they're gonna always find a way to bring you down.

I try to not read about myself. I think it's easier to have it out of sight and out of mind.

I had my first real kiss at Magic Mountain on a park bench. Not the most romantic thing ever.

Being cool is being your own self, not doing something that someone else is telling you to do.

When I was younger, I used to be super, super shy. I still find myself being scared of things.

I may have had a crush on Zac, but we are like brother and sister, so nothing would ever happen.

Violence has been a part of films since the beginning of time. It's been a form of entertainment.

So many people try to grow up too fast, and it's not fun! You should stay a kid as long as possible!

I like friends who are honest and loyal. They also shouldn't be afraid to be a kid. I like having fun.

The only thing you can do through all the scrutiny and just in life in general is be true to yourself.

I had a gypsy upbringing, so I moved around all over the place and can't remember a street I grew up on.

A good amount of the guys wanted to date me. Even older guys looking at me. It took some getting used to.

My style is boho chic. I love that time period - the patterns, the prints, the people, the music, the vibe.

I feel like I've been fortunate enough that I've gotten to meet and work with some really passionate people.

Long-distance relationships are hard no matter what. When you don't have face-to-face time, it's just different.

I really do try to watch everything I say. Because one little tiny slip, and it's like the world is coming to an end!

I want to try doing sportier things, kite surfing and paddle surfing - I think it would give me that extra confidence.

I think it's really healing to see movies that are based on true stories. It builds so much more compassion and empathy.

The second I met Zac, I thought he was a really cool guy. It's hard not to have chemistry with someone who is so attractive.

If you really love someone, you shouldn't have to work at it, you finish each others' sentences and have the same sense of humor.

I relate to all of my songs and I'm inspired by everything going on around me. Music comes from all different aspects of my life.

If you're always worried about being on your phone, then you really are missing out on everything that's happening in front of you.

I was self-conscious of what I would call my "tree-trunk legs" because they are very muscular... but now I've learned to love them.

Movies and acting are so much fun. I love playing different characters and doing different genres. It's all still very interesting to me.

I'm not the same girl I was five years ago. Hopefully, with the choices I'm making people will start to see that I'm not just little Gabriella.

My passion is doing movies, and as long as I keep doing that, I'll be happy. I want to do movies, fun roles and dramatic ones. I love all of it.

I've had many nicknames over the years: V, Nessa, Nessy Poo, Nessy Bear and Van. Only my parents call me Van, though, and I hate it. I get embarrassed.

I always used to watch 'Labyrinth' and 'The Neverending Story.' Those were like my two favorite movies that I would watch over and over and over again.

People are always going to say stuff about you and there are always going to be crazy rumours out there, but as long as you know the truth, you're fine.

This is going to sound really funny. I have a poster of Zac Efron on my wall! I think every girl has a poster of him in their room so, why not join the club!

I've always wanted to play Maria in West Side Story. My idol is Natalie Wood, and I love the movie, so I think a modern-day twist on it would be really neat.

I guess I'm one of those girls who can be too honest about things for my own good, but I expect it back. I expect people to be honest and blunt with me, too.

If people don't like me for whatever I do, for being me, then that's too bad. I don't want to change to be something that I'm not for other people to like me.

I try not to read the blogs or what people say about me. Because that's what brings everybody down - no matter what you do, you're always going to have haters.

I feel like acting is something I've been working towards longer. And it would be great to win a Grammy, of course, but for some reason, an Oscar speaks more to me.

I used to go to Cold Stone Creamery, get a tub of Butterfinger ice cream, and eat it all before bedtime. And my fingers were permanently stained orange from Cheetos.

I don't like being stagnant. I want to continue to grow and just be better at what I do, and the only way to do that is to keep stepping outside of your comfort zone.

I just love expanding my horizons and growing as an artist. The only way you get to do that is by doing something that scares you or takes you out of your comfort zone.

Ghost stories really scare me. I have such a big imagination that after I watch a horror movie like 'The Grudge', I look in the corners of my room for the next two days.

Dancing was a big part of my life, but I would never consider myself a dancer. I adore singing, and music has always been a huge part of my life, but I also enjoy acting.

I am human like everyone else. I am aware that there are people who look up to me. When mistakes are made, they aren't intentional, and I constantly push myself to be a better person.

Working for with someone who has no idea what they wanted... it would just be so all over the place, especially with something on this scale. You have to know what you want with this.
