My best friend and I go to bed at 11 o'clock. We have such old lady schedules. Everyone's always like, 'Let's go out!' And we're always like, 'No, we don't want to.' They call us the grandmas. L.A. can get really old really quickly if you waste your life away in a club all night.
My grandmother raised me for a good portion of my life. She moved to Los Angeles with me to be an actor, so I've always had a connection with an older generation.
On the one blind date I went on, I had a backup. If I texted you the code word, you call and say my dogs are sick.
If I can play 15 when I am 25, I can play 35 when I'm 55.
My mom wasn't a fan of public school systems. She was scared of letting me go. So, she home-schooled my siblings and I, and she was desperately trying to find something for me to do for an extracurricular. She was trying to socialize me, so she put me in community theater, and I was instantly taken by it.
'A Walk to Remember' was a huge movie for me. I thought Mandy Moore was the coolest thing that ever happened. And Shane West - man, did I have a crush on him.
I remember the moment that I realized that I was going to get the opportunity to be in my dream role, and I said, 'I just don't think life gets any better!' You have to take that moment and expand it for as long as possible because it's such a cool feeling.
Some of the best advice I was ever given was: 'Don't believe your own hype.'
After 'Life Unexpected' ended, I wanted to do something that was completely different from Lux and that show. I wanted to be able to keep my fans, but not have them confused about who I was or what my character was.
I was a super tomboy growing up.
My family is large and in charge! That's my favorite way to describe them.
I am the oldest of seven. Do my siblings think I'm super cool? I wish they thought I was super cool!
I like really bad T.V.; it's a problem. Love me some reality.
I was home-schooled. My mom wasn't a fan of public school systems.
I was 14 or 15 when I moved to L.A. permanently, but I had been out for pilot season for a few years before that.
I never had a problem with social situations. A lot of times, when people are in school, they can have a little hesitancy because people are mean sometimes. I never had that problem because I never had that experience. So, I had a pretty easy transition.
I am close - too close - with my family.
I was 11 and watching soap operas with my mom, and I thought it would be cool to be an actor. I thought soap operas was going to be the dream at the time - it's obviously now not the dream, but I think soap operas are really cool. Maybe I'll go back to that.
I don't like when people put their dishes in the dishwasher without scrubbing them properly because it comes out with those little white dots and then you can't get those out. And you have to rewash them.
I never talk about auditions. Even if I've got the role, I won't tell people until we're literally filming it.
