Paris Hilton isn't my rival. I met her one or two times and she's making out there's this big rivalry between us and there so isn't.

Pretty people aren't as accepted as other people. It's like, 'She's pretty and thin and she's got to have problems. She's messed up.'

I like guys who are confident but not cocky, who are comfortable with themselves, and who know what they want.

Pretty people aren't as accepted as other people. It comes with all these stigmas.

I like playing dark, offbeat, quirky characters.

I'm not really sure what people's preconceived notions are. I don't look at the gossip websites - it's unhealthy and I think it's a large part of what drives people in L.A. crazy.

It kind of irritates me that I'm seen as this pretty face. People also say I'm too thin. The truth is pretty people aren't as accepted as other people. It comes with all these stigmas.

Some people are willing to pay the price and it's the same with staying healthy or eating healthy. There's some discipline involved. There's some sacrifices.
