“I think it’s so important to keep learning and keep your brain active.”

I started working on a line of clothes last year, but right now we’re kind of at a standstill.

At the rate science proceeds, rockets and missiles will one day seem like buffalo – slow, endangered grazers in the black pasture of outer space.

I was never really obsessed with the whole guy thing to begin with.

If I had to give one piece of advice to incoming college freshmen, I’d say always be true to yourself.

Still, it’s tough trying to combine my acting career with my college career.

I was strong enough not to let them get the best of me, but I’m definitely one who has taken what people say to heart and let it eat away at me.

Mostly, nothing’s really changed. I’m still the dorky nerd that I always was.

Even though college has been hard, I don’t want to give up.

For the longest time, I never thought I was intimidating to guys, but I’m kind of finding out that maybe there is some tiny thread of intimidation.

I think the hardest part about being a teenager is dealing with other teenagers – the criticism and the ridicule, the gossip and rumors.

Nowadays, I could not care less about making other people like me. I’m a good person, I don’t need to do that anymore.

Music is so powerful to me. I had my IPod and headphones, and my sad playlist. I kind of ventured off for just a little bit to get into the scene.
