I'm very much a girl that likes to have options. That's the way I am with fashion, and that's the way I am with my life.

In California, I do like to just chill out and go to the beach, but I love the energy here. I feel very productive when I'm in New York.

When it comes to fashion, I love skinny jeans, a simple top, and a great handbag.

I am certainly not perfect. I don't think you should try to be perfect for anyone. When you come to terms with that, then you're OK.

When girls come up and say, "You're my role model," it's really flattering, but it's also really scary because I'm not perfect and I'm going to make mistakes.

I'm a bit of a workaholic. When I feel like I'm not doing something, it drives me insane.

I live a dual life. On the red carpet, it's complete glam. But at home, I'm a jeans and T-shirt kind of girl. Simple can be beautiful.

But I don't do the diet thing anymore. I'm a big believer in feeding your body what it needs. Deny yourself something and you're going to end up shoving your face full of it.

Don't throw petals on the floor if they have no meaning. I would rather have a fun, casual relationship than have someone pretending they're completely in love with me.

I think it's better that life is kind of like a mystery, I think that's what drives us.

You know, my brother won't walk out of a restaurant with me anymore because he doesn't want to be linked to me as my new 'mystery man.' Same with my close guy friends.

Those who fear darkness have never seen what the light can do.

As far as songwriting, my inspirations came from love, life and death, and viewing other people's situations.

What do I tell the pilots to do?

I live in a mind melt of different situations, through my work and social life - I wouldn't have it any other way.

People see a lot of huge stuff on Broadway, but there's always Off-Broadway energy and also shows that you can work in.

Choosing to take responsibility for ourselves and for the consequences our choices create looks like hard work, but it really sets us free.

Worrying is like praying for something you don't want to happen. I have such an overwhelming sense that if you're in the right state of heart, the next right thing appears to you.

Trophies should go to the winners. Self-esteem does not lead to success in life. Self-discipline and self-control do, and sports can help teach those.

'Green Lantern' I screen-tested for twice. I fought for the role. And I'm glad I did, because I felt like I earned it.

The laws of supply and demand drive up the price, inevitably, over time. But solar and wind are abundant and renewable resources.
