The hardest thing is at the end you have to say bye to all these people who you have worked with for so many months. It was really sad not to see them anymore. But...

I never get scared making these kinds of movies because it’s all make-believe, but I did cry when I saw the finished version of Man On Fire because it is so sad.

My parents never talked to me like I was a kid. Maybe that’s why I’ve been seen as mature.

I love who I am and I love my life, but if I could be someone else, I’d be Beyonce in two seconds.

My mom, she is the most unbelievable mom that you could ever have in your entire life and she’s always with me on everything. The most I’ve ever been away from her is two days....

I’ve always wanted to be an actress, ever since I was a little girl. I’ve always played the mom and I play my sister as the daughter. I wanted to be an actress on television...

If I see a movie on TV that I’m in, I usually will watch it for that reason: It’s like I’m watching another person.

I played the young Reese Witherspoon in ‘Sweet Home Alabama’ when I was 7, and the boy who played the young Josh Lucas was 10.

I love the feeling I get when I’m on a set; I love reading the scripts, playing the characters, getting to be someone else.

In the happy scenes there were really fun times. Sean would say really funny stuff because he likes to improv. I would want to laugh, but you are not allowed to do that during the...

I have always wanted to act ever since I was a little girl. I would put a blanket under my shirt and pretend that I was pregnant. Then, I would go through childbirth.

One of my favorite things about doing movies is that you get to do different things you’d never do in real life.

I’ve been a ballerina since I was two, but I’ve always wanted to be an actress.

I was always into fashion because my mom has always been interested in fashion. She majored in fashion merchandising in college, and it’s always been something we have in common.

I’ve been very lucky enough to do all kinds of movies. All the movies that I’ve done have been very different, and all the characters I’ve done have been very different. I feel very lucky...

Courtney Love is really cool and funny. I would like to meet Julia Roberts and Cameron Diaz. I think I could play their daughters.

I was being groomed to be a tennis player for sure. My grandparents and parents realised I had a natural athletic ability and if I was forced to do it, I could probably do well....

My mom played tennis for, like, six hours a day and went to college on a tennis scholarship, because that was the way she could go to school. So they instilled in me the idea...

ER was one of my favourites. I played a car accident victim who has leukemia. I got to wear a neck brace and nose tubes for the two days I worked.

It was really really neat to make the movie because there were mentally challenged actors in the movie. So that was really really cool to work with them and they were always really happy, and...

It’s just such an honor to say that I was in something by Steven Spielberg. I feel so blessed I got to meet such great people, and I got to go to a beautiful place,...

My favorite actresses are Cameron Diaz, Julia Roberts and Julie Andrews.

I learned to read at two. I was in a Montessori school and they teach you to read really, really young.

It’s something that’s always been there for me, that I have huge blue eyes – it’s been something that people have always talked about.

That was really cool. I got to kiss a little boy. I was 7 and he was 10, and his name is Thomas Curtis. He was the first boy I’ve ever kissed in my entire...

I always talk about my characters like they’re real people.

When I go home, I play with my baby dolls and strollers and diaper bags, and play with my sisters.

Acting is what I love to do. I wouldn’t trade it for the world. I don’t think of it as work. It’s really fun for me.

I like everything perfect. Everything has to be neat. My sister is 5, and she’s more messy than I am. I make my bed every morning, everything’s perfect. My shoes are all arranged. It’s sad....

I think I really like psychology because my job is all about getting inside another person’s mind and thoughts.

I have a weird vision of relationships because my parents have known each other since second grade, and they got married right out of college.
