Life is full of risks anyway, why not take them?

My brother Cody is 19. He wants to stay out of the limelight and become a lawyer. I want him to be an entertainment lawyer, so he can help me out!

My mum says, 'Go with your first instinct,' but this can lead to impulse buying!

Marriage is a big deal, but who's to say I'm not going to pull a Vegas and get married to see what it's like for a minute?

I'm the hardest working person I know. I'm 20 years old - is it a crime to want to go out dancing with my friends?

How can you not like Britney Spears?

So many people preach that they love fashion, but really it's what I live for!

My motto is: Live every day to the fullest - in moderation.

I want to set up orphanages for underprivileged and abused children.

There's a way of dealing with hardships that are healthier than going out. That's what I've learned.

You shouldn't have to give things up for someone. If you love them someone, you should love them for everything they do and all that they are. I love acting and I wouldn't give it up for anything, and I don't know anyone in my life who would ask me to give it up.

I'm an angel compared to some of my friends.

I think a woman's body is so much more sensual than a man's. I'm not saying strip off all your clothes, but there are certain photos I like people taking of me, where I'm comfortable. As long as it's tasteful, why not?

I did get to work with Anthony Hopkins on 'The Human Stain.' If I ever manage to accomplish a quarter of what he's achieved, I'll have had one hell of a career.

Life is full of risks anyway, why not take them?

I write most of my own lyrics for my album and I am helping to produce some of the songs as well.

I want to win an Oscar. I want to be known for more than, like, going out. For being the 'party girl'. I hate that. I bust my ass when I'm filming and when I have time off, yeah, I like to go out and dance.

I'll probably pursue doing more movies, but not horror or movies with killers in them. I'll try to stick to happy movies. I want to act and direct like Jodie Foster. I admire her because she went to college and she's still doing the same thing.

Never say never. The things that you don't plan are the best. I'm a very spontaneous person.

My little sister Aliana's opinions are the most important to me. She says, 'I want to look like you, you're so pretty!' But she is very beautiful and so she is trouble in the making! She wants to do what I do. I'm like her second mother and I am very protective of her.

I love my red hair. It makes me spunkier.

I'm not going to deny the fact that I've tried pot. I hated it.

I'm not skinny for the wrong reasons. It's not because I'm bulimic or anorexic or doing drugs. Compared to a lot of actresses my age, I'm actually overweight.

I want to be remembered for the work that I've done, rather than the car accidents that I've gotten into, the men that I've not dated - or the man that I have.

I hate it when people call me a teen queen.

I'm 20 years old. I like to party as much as anyone my age. Going clubbing is my way of relaxing or releasing a lot of stress. I don't feel that I should have to justify that part of my life. I don't know that I'm necessarily an addict.

I really enjoy singing and I really enjoy acting, but singing I've been doing since I was really young.

It's so weird that I went to rehab. I always said that I would die before I went to rehab. But I thought, 'I'm going to stay here tonight.' And I stayed there for a month. It was great.

My mom is going to kill me for talking about sleeping with people. But I don't want to put myself in the position where I'm in a monogamous relationship right now. I'm not dating just one person. 'Sex and the City' changed everything for me because those girls would sleep with so many people.

Substance abuse is a disease which doesn't go away overnight. I'm working hard to overcome it. I did fail my recent drug test. I'm prepared to face the consequences.

When someone tells me not to do something, I'll do it more.

I'm not that girl from Freaky Friday any more! I'm a real adult. In fact, I hate children! I hate them all!

I don't know if I am cut out to playing a bad character or not - I really should give it a shot. I would like to play the voice of a baddie, but that's really just a cop-out!

It's my body. And I like my body. And I like my breasts. And no, they're not fake.

I write a lot of lyrics and I'm involved in the producing process, because it's like, if I'm singing it, I want it to be something that I can relate to.

If I dated as many people as they said I have, then I would be dead, because it's just not possible.

I want to get married before I'm 30. And I'd like to win an Oscar before then.

Everyone has highs and lows that they have to learn from, but every morning I start off with a good head on my shoulders, saying to myself, 'It's going to be a good day!'.

Beauty is grace and confidence. I've learned to accept and appreciate what nature gave me.

Because I'm so much in the spotlight, people lose sight of why I'm in the industry. In fact, I'm doing all this because I love to act. I love to perform, to sing.

Compared to a lot of actresses my age, I'm actually overweight.

I am happy being able to play roles with people my age because once you do something really mature there is no turning back.

I did say that I wanted to be a young mom, just because my mom was a young mom. It is better because I can be closer to my kids and stuff.

I don't care what anyone says.

I don't like to talk about politics. If you say you're a Democrat, that'll turn off Republicans, and that's half of your fan base.

I hate the bad rap that people give my parents. Because they are just parents, really, at the end of the day trying to stand up for their daughter and themselves.

I have always admired and had enormous respect for Elizabeth Taylor. She was not only an incredible actress but an amazing woman as well.

I just feel as though it's become a situation where people have manifested this caricature of who I am, and they act as if there's no real person inside of it.

I just love fashion. I think it just expresses who you are so much.
