I love my mom. I totally look up to her, and she just doesn't let anybody take advantage of me. People might call that a stage mom.
I love men who have a lot going on in their lives, like I do.
I love clothes. I can't control myself. I have a huge fetish for shoes and clothes and make-up. I'm the kind of person who doesn't like to wear things over and over again.
I know I can handle dramatic roles, but I don't think I should have to play a young mother on crack to prove it.
I knew I wanted to act, and I was really driven, so I kept going for it. We moved to L.A. full-time when I was 8 or 9.
I have always been interested in the paranormal and afterlife, everything from ghosts to angels. I think that everyone has that curiosity of the great unknown.
I got married and had a baby. Created a human.
I feel like women's minds never stop.
I don`t think the Disney Channel gives us enough credit for the age range Lizzie McGuire actually has. College students come up to me, grandparents, famous people. It`s really funny.
I can’t really act the way I want to act, or say what I want to say all the time. And a lot of times, I cover that up with a smile.
I can't go more than 72 hours without shopping, but I don't think I'm excessive.
I ate a bug once. It was flying around me. I was trying to get it away. It went right in my mouth. It was so gross!
I also love Dido and Nelly Furtado and people who are really into their music like that. And I love Renee Zellweger.
I actually didn't want to have control of the writing on my first album. To write, you have to have time to connect with yourself. I don't have that time right now, because I'm so busy.
He always believed that people live up or down to the amount of trust you put in them.
Guys make me feel secure and comfortable when I'm scared or need attention. They bring stability. And affection. And fun. And drama. You learn so much from a boyfriend. It's hard to put into words, I guess.
Forget about the reasons why you can't in life and start to try
Every week I read about myself in a magazine, about something that I haven't done or some place that I've never been or don't even know. It's just gossip, rumors, egos, and politics.
Clea and I were touring one of the cathedrals in Italy, and in front of the whole tour I go 'That's so cute! Look, they have birdbaths in the church!
Be bold before you get stuck not being bold.
At first, when I got bad press and people would talk bad about my family or something like that, I would get really upset, but now it's just not worth my energy.
And it only matters how true you are. Be true to yourself and follow your heart.
I always feel like I'm in the five to ten pound struggle, but my life is so busy. I'm just not that concerned, really. I'm normal and I'm perfectly happy being that way. Some weeks I'm like, 'Man, my clothes are fitting so good' and then some weeks I'm like, 'I need to cut back on a few things,' but that's it. I don't fall into the trap of having to be 110 pounds.
I have an older sister named Haley and she wanted to be an actress. So I wanted to be an actress. It's really funny the way that some people don't give kids enough credit for like really being driven, and really wanting to do things so badly.
I just think that there's so much judgment in the world, whether it's coming from women in general or from men onto women - it's a lot. And when it comes to being a mom, I wish everyone could band together and realize that everyone has different beliefs, different styles, and different things that work them and their family.
