I learned how to play the drums. When we were in pre-production, when we were still in LA, I had a couple of drum lessons and then some in Toronto. I got the one beat down and that was it.

There are just some really beautiful people in the world. When you're walking down the street, or you're at a restaurant, someone catches your eye because they have their own look. It goes way beyond what they're wearing - into their mannerisms, the way they smile, or just the way they hold themselves.

I find it's better to focus on what's in front of you and to keep putting one foot in front of the other.

We have been roommates our entire lives. We just bought a place together.

I feel like when I carry a bigger bag, it looks like it's a huge bag because I'm really tiny. But I do think it's important to have the space that you need, because we throw everything in our bags at all times. I think every woman does.

I grew up horseback riding. That was my passion. I didn't start shopping until about 16 or 17, when I could drive myself to stores and explore on my own.

Me and Ashley feel like we're totally different.

I wear weird things sometimes. I like to drink coffee. Neither of those things have anything to do with who I am.

Australia is so cool that it's hard to even know where to start describing it. The beaches are beautiful; so is the weather. Not too crowded. Great food, great music, really nice people. It must be a lot like Los Angeles was many years ago.

I would never wish my upbringing on anyone... but I wouldn't take it back for the world.

I usually do get the tomboy parts in the movies, which is kind of like me, but not totally. I like to shop as much as Ashley, but she is a little more of a girlie-girl than me.

When I was young, clothes were really just about what fit, because Ashley and I were so tiny. So I understood fit before I understood style.

We will probably always be in business together.

I'm definitely bicoastal, but I have to say, it's easier to live in New York than in L.A. I feel like people respect other people's space a bit more here. Everyone has the right to that freedom, right? Everyone has that right. It's freezing in New York right now. In L.A., it's sunny. But I would choose freezing over being followed.

I still read scripts, and if something great comes along, that's great... but this is my day job. The Row is where I go every day.

Our career is a dream. I mean, we get to act, travel around the world, and meet cool people. What's not to love!

We get along really well, but TV and film aren't reality. We're best friends, but we do have our fights!

I am a really bad test taker. I can get straight As in school, but I get nervous on test.

We played soccer a lot with our friends and at school. We weren't on an official team or anything, but we'd definitely be up for it in gym or in after-school pickup games where we live.
