My mom is really great with me and for me, because I think she makes an effort to make sure there is some normalcy in my life, and her and my dad don't really treat me any differently.

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'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.

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.

Sleep was a vehicle for passing the time, for avoiding the present. It was a trolley for the depressed, the impatient, and the dying.

Love everybody. If they do you wrong or they brush you the wrong way it's OK, you don't have to hold on to that, you can still love them from afar; you don't have to really deal with them.

In every character you play, as much as you hate to admit it as an actor, but there's an element of you that you bring to it.

When you invest in people and lift them toward their potential, they will love you for it.

Let the pictures do the talking!

You can have it all but how much do you want it?

I think a lot of people just assumed I came to L.A. to do more television and get into show business.

The average pencil is seven inches long, with just a half-inch eraser - in case you thought optimism was dead.

The problem isn't to learn to love humanity, but to learn to love those members of it who happen to be at hand.

When you're an outsider or a misfit, if you play it smart, your motto should be, 'I'll show 'em. I will show you.'
