“You have a choice whether you want to be happy or not. I choose to be happy.”

I was so unhealthy. I used to go to ‘Cold Stone Creamery,’ get a tub of Butterfinger ice cream, and eat it all before bedtime. And my fingers were permanently stained orange from Cheetos.

I’ve always had problems with guys!

I feel like I’ve been fortunate enough that I’ve gotten to meet and work with some really passionate people.

When I was younger, I used to be super, super shy. I still find myself being scared of things.

I’m not very experienced with boys or the whole dating thingy.

I really do try to watch everything I say. Because one little tiny slip, and it’s like the world is coming to an end!

Power to the peaceful.

I may have had a crush on Zac, but we are like brother and sister, so nothing would ever happen.

I want to try doing sportier things, kite surfing and paddle surfing – I think it would give me that extra confidence.

Good boys are nice – don’t go for the bad ones!

I love and really respect strong women. I’m obsessed with Scarlett Johansson and Drew Barrymore and Penelope Cruz. They are just really incredibly strong-willed, intelligent females in the industry.

My advice to kids is give it your all! Give it 110 percent and don’t give up!

I’d like to win an Oscar.

I try to not read about myself. I think it’s easier to have it out of sight and out of mind.

Do not just look at your boyfriend as just a boyfriend. Look at him as a friend, too.

I don’t go long without eating. I never starve myself: I grab a healthy snack.

Conflict is inevitable but combat is optional.

Some women take up the law and become lawyers. Other women lay down the law and become wives.

One is not righteous who does much, but the one who, without work, believes much in Christ. The law says, ‘Do this,’ and it is never done. Grace says, ‘Believe in this,’ and everything is already done.

With love, there are so many layers to it that you can write all day about it. It’s not just heartbreak or falling in love; there’s so many different ways to look at it.

Don’t be defined by your failures, be refined by them.

First, God does not send people to hell. He simply honors their choice. Hell is the ultimate expression of God’s high regard for the dignity of man. He has never forced us to choose Him, even when that means we would choose Hell.

Being 15, I feel like people want me to go down the Justin Bieber, Cody Simpson sort of genre.

What a gentle curse: to still want you after all we’ve been.
