“I’m enjoying where I’m at in my life and I feel like I’m learning a lot on a daily basis.”

My mom is the No. 1 person who has taught me to be courteous towards women.

It’s hard to film underwater. It really is tricky.

Amanda Bynes and I have become close since filming ‘Hairspray.’ It’s so weird because I grew up watching her.

Every time you make a movie you have to confront your fears.

I try to be green as much as I can and it’s hard. I feel like I’m never doing enough.

Dating is kind of hard. Like dinner or something like that.

You always have to remember that bullies want to bring you down because you have something that they admire.

In sixth grade, my basketball team made it to the league championships. In double overtime, with three seconds left.

I love action-adventure-type films – mythical adventures like ‘Lord of the Rings’ or superhero films like ‘Batman.’

Fame is probably the most unadorable thing about acting.

I’ve always loved dogs. I grew up with them and I love working with them. They’re really fun.

I would sit down with a guitar and write 11 or 12 good songs for an album and that is gonna take a long time.

When you’re young everything feels like the end of the world, but its not; its just the beginning.

It’s the moms who are overaggressive. A lot of times their daughters are very sweet and cordial, and the moms tend to grab you and scream and want to kiss you.

The more attention you give to the paparazzi, the more it just, like, validates everything . . .

It is the basis of social and political dynamics.

Understanding is the basis of care. What you would take care of you must first understand, whether it be a petunia or a nation.

We all have choices that we are empowered to make on a daily basis, and while those choices can be limited by affordability and accessibility

When emotions arise, I don’t attempt to suppress or repress them, so that I can discern their basis or cause.

Creativity and lateral thinking have exactly the same basis as humour.

It’s always really challenging trying to go from player to player/coach. You have a kind of friendship basis of relationship with all of your teammates and now you go to this power position where you have to make decisions that might hurt people’s feelings.

He who claims to be sure of something for which there is no evidence is a fool, and he who acts on the basis of what cannot be proved is an imposter.

Ever building, building to the clouds, still building higher, and never reflecting that the poor narrow basis cannot sustain the giddy tottering column.
