| Quotes: |
There's nothing else I would rather do, unless there was a profession that involved cuddling bunny rabbits and kittens all day for money.
<br />
<hr>
I've basically made a career out of my imagination. I feel very lucky.
<br />
<hr>
(on Charlie Bartlett (2007)) I think it's an important movie for teenagers to see. There was a time when I thought I was crazy but really I was just a teenager. It's important to realize you're not the only person going through it.
<br />
<hr>
I've had people tell me to get Mystic Tan, blonde highlights, choppy haircuts, but I've made a conscious decision not to cave.
<br />
<hr>
I don't take crap from anyone, so that makes people think I'm rebellious. I'm not. I'm just not a pushover. |
