1. "I pray every night. I just talk to God and I can go to sleep. I don't worry anymore."
2. "I love... anything in black and white"
3. "I really don't like to do back-to-back movies. I concentrate on things at home. My family and school life are important to me. I try to do one movie a year."
4. "When I see some of these actors that come onto the scene as children fail, it breaks my heart, because they put everything into their career, not into their life. I was taught that acting is a career, not a defining factor of which I was to be judged."
5. "I had no idea of the size of my bank account as a teen, and I didn't care to know. That was my mom's job, I figured that I would just find out when I turned 18. If you can't trust your mom, then who can you trust?"
6. "Keep in mind that there are computers, that do touch things up. Like when I got a hold of the poster for Gold Diggers, I said: 'Hey, wait a minute! Those aren't my teeth'."
