I always wanted to be an actress. I couldn't imagine being anything else.

I know imitation is the highest form of flattery, but stealing one's identity is totally different.

I was always the girl who wore the mismatching socks, frizzy hair, ponytail I wouldn't take out for a week, and cutoff jean shorts that were at my knees.

My last trip to New Orleans was for the fifth anniversary of Katrina, and I had the awesome opportunity to bring my family down. We all worked on a house together and met some of the families.

We look at a person and see the person we want to see. I've had to deal with that my whole life, walking in a room and girls thinking I'm going to steal their boyfriends!

I loved killing zombies in 'Day of the Dead.' I basically welcome anything that involves being dirty or bloody or shooting guns.

I don't want my dad to say, 'My daughter is an actress on a TV show.' I want him to say, 'My daughter cares about people.' I would love to know that I'm a role model in Hollywood.

I love being outdoors, playing beach tennis, going for runs in the sand, or doing a three-hour hike with my best girlfriend, Mieko.

I need a guy who's confident and is secure in himself, because we're always apart.

I knew I wanted to be an actress when I was 9 years old.

'Dial Star' is about an aspiring actress who finds the cell phone of AnnaLynne McCord and impersonates her.

Maybe at the same time as I'm more confident today, I'm also more humble.

The welfare culture tells the man he is not a necessary part of the family; he feels dispensable, his wife knows he is dispensable, his children sense it.

If you pursue a distancer, he or she will distance more. Consider it a fundamental law of physics.

People like me are aware of their so-called genius at ten, eight, nine.

...Let's get to the image as quickly as possible, let's get to the message even faster, and let's find the scale to knock you over the head with the image and the message.

I feel it is our inherent duty as a humane society, above any intangible responsibility, to invest in our world's children's potential, passion and confidence.

But from a distance. I would have left you whole and wholly for the delectation of those who wanted more and cared less.

Wind is a plant's only chance to make music.

I sleep with my baby blanket, Kiki, that my nana made for me.

I went to a number of foreign countries, and during whenever I went, I would try to go to an orphanage or a home for children. And I was seeing thousands of kids around the world that needed homes.
