Even when I was young I wanted to be an actress.

Just remembering that they [people with eating disorder] are young, beautiful and unique and that is worth everything in this world.

I hate nothing more than having my nails painted. I feel like I'm in time out.

I grew up with brothers. Girls terrified me.

In high school I was a nerd and very acad­emic. On the weekends, instead of going out and partying, I’d close myself in my room and read Shakespeare. I hid from boys. I didn’t know what a boyfriend was, although I think I wanted one.

What Hollywood truly wants is for people to be themselves. I think what it's designed for is to kind of turn people into something and just make them saleable. But what it really stands for, what it really loves, are people who are unafraid to be themselves, and as you can see, these are people who are excelling in their careers.

As I got older, I had a bunch of friends that were various teen stars. I've always known people in the spotlight and people who just grew up in LA and had nothing to do with the industry.

I like wearing my dads sweaters because I knew that he wore them when he held me when I was a baby.

Hollywood is a challenging place it's very easy for people to lose their heads. Fortunately, I grew up on it and I think I have a little bit of a head start.

Its a very wonderful yet difficult thing to be given a lot of really good opportunities and the world is at your fingertips.

You can have a disordered relationship with food, but to have an eating disorder is indicative of a mental illness, which I think needs treatment and recognition in a different way.

When I was 5 years old, my best friends were Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen because we lived across the street from each other.
