I know I can handle dramatic roles, but I don't think I should have to play a young mother on crack to prove it.

I think every actor is looking for a challenge, and to play something different, and to be a part of a project with other great actors.

I think I'm happy with who I am. I don't know if I learned that from other girls or just people in general.

I can't go more than 72 hours without shopping, but I don't think I'm excessive.

That is what I think about women: We can do so much and take care of so much that we put a lot of pressure on ourselves to fully get it all handled.

It sounds cheesy but I think my life's kinda like a fairy tale. I worked really hard, but I'm very, very lucky too. I'm just 16 and I've done so many amazing things. I travel the world, I have fans who support me, and I get to do what I love - make movies, sing and really be myself. I have a beautiful family, a great support system, and wonderful friends - and I go shopping every week! I'm so lucky, but it's not necessarily like a CINDERELLA STORY.

I don`t think the Disney Channel gives us enough credit for the age range Lizzie McGuire actually has. College students come up to me, grandparents, famous people. It`s really funny.

I have always been interested in the paranormal and afterlife, everything from ghosts to angels. I think that everyone has that curiosity of the great unknown.
