For me, having greek yogurt and some granola is the perfect start-up breakfast because it has many benefits. Its filling, healthy and gives me energy to start my day.

When I was in the eighth grade, I wrote this huge long paper about how I had no idea what I was gonna do with my life, but that I wanted to make a difference and touch even if it was like one person's life... inspire them.

Being on a television show and having so many fans is something that I've never experienced before, and it's really neat when they come up to you and are like, 'That storyline is amazing and really spoke to me in my life,' and it's really cool. I really enjoy it.

Our bodies are exploited so much in the media, I feel like everyone is made to feel like they're not worthy or beautiful.

For a long while, I was really against Twitter. I mean, who cares if I'm in an airport or had broccoli for dinner?

I'm, like, super-clumsy and weird and funny and dorky.

I did a Clean & Clear commercial. I did a series of them. I used to be the Clean & Clear girl!

I was 17 when my body started changing, and I worried about what I did wrong. I went through a period where I didn't eat at all. I also had someone who was encouraging me to take diet pills. I pushed myself to the extreme because I woke up one day and had hips - and a butt - and thought, 'Oh my gosh, I'm getting fat!'

Why the heck do we allow the media to ever tell us someone is gross? It makes me so mad. 99% of the world has flaws.

Despite my mother saying I have been destined to be an actress my whole life, I remember being the kid who grew up not knowing what I wanted to do with my life.

I went to an all-girls' school with 43 people in my class, so dances were small. I always went with girlfriends or a blind date.
