The Internet has become a tool to pick on people and ruin someone's life. I don't think parents realize what's going on. Just because you're not at school doesn't mean kids aren't harassing you on the computer.

I'm already a tiny person, so now I'm trying to go to the gym to add muscle. I need it!

I don't know what to say when I have a crush on somebody. I kind of lose my words. I really try to start a conversation, and I can't. It's horrible.

I was raised by a very strict, good mother, so I won't be getting out of line anytime soon.

My mom always bails me out of things when I get in trouble.

I really don't get nervous when I perform -it's more of an exciting feeling than anything else. But put me in a classroom with kids my age and have me take a test and yeah, I'll be nervous!

Growing up on a set is completely different than coming onto a brand new set for the first time.

My mom sent me to regular high school because she wanted me to have that experience and not say that I missed out, but I didn't like it at all. I'm more comfortable in the world that I'm in, I grew up in it so when I get around normal kids in regular high school I don't know what to do. I feel more secure in an adult environment.

Guys are so easygoing and girls are a little harder to please, but that's okay.

I don't know how I didn't kill any one of my sisters. For this one horror film we were making, I made my own harness for my sister. I wrapped her in all these ropes, but then also put a noose around her neck and hung her from a tree. Now I think, 'What if my harness didn't work?' I'm so lucky that nothing ever happened.

I really look up to actors like Gwyneth Paltrow and Cate Blanchett who have a strong background in theatre.

I like to play paintball in my back yard.

There will always be someone being picked on at school, and it's not going to go away.

People are expecting me to still be fourteen years old. It cracks me up, especially when people see me walk by with my husband. They're like, 'What? You're married? You're not old enough to be married.' Thank you. I'm glad that you think that.

I just feel so sexy when I'm salsa dancing and wearing the salsa clothes. I love dancing, and the salsa is just so sexy.

If a script comes together, and you end up liking the people who are part of it, that's when you can make magic happen. It's a huge combination of trying to find something you think you can deliver on and a director you think you can collaborate with to make a good picture.

Kids need to open up to their parents. And parents should realize that when kids are pushing you away, that's the time to really step in.

When a casting agent sees me, he kind of knows what he's getting.

What makes Johnny Depp so brilliant is you truly have no idea what kind of character he's going to play next.

The Internet has become a tool to pick on people and ruin someone's life. I don't think parents realize what's going on.

I love taking on roles that I haven't yet done in my career.

I always think it's hard for any young actor to make that transition to more grown-up roles. Because you don't want to alienate your audience who has been supportive of you for so many years, so you kind of have to tiptoe through that process.

I actually have a stash of wigs for Halloween. But only for that. Not to play dress-up.

I am taking belly dancing now. My hips are double-jointed, so I can do it really easily.

You always hear these stories of people who grew up in Hollywood, and they're like, 'We lost our childhood.' But I was very fortunate.
