Why the heck do we allow the media to ever tell us someone is gross? It makes me so mad. 99% of the world has flaws.
Despite my mother saying I have been destined to be an actress my whole life, I remember being the kid who grew up not knowing what I wanted to do with my life.
I did a Clean & Clear commercial. I did a series of them. I used to be the Clean & Clear girl!
I was 17 when my body started changing, and I worried about what I did wrong. I went through a period where I didn't eat at all. I also had someone who was encouraging me to take diet pills. I pushed myself to the extreme because I woke up one day and had hips - and a butt - and thought, 'Oh my gosh, I'm getting fat!'
For me, having greek yogurt and some granola is the perfect start-up breakfast because it has many benefits. Its filling, healthy and gives me energy to start my day.
I would want to travel the world and write about it. To be a famous writer.
I am happiest when I'm sitting on my parent's couch with the fire place on and talking to my family.
When I'm on set filming 'One Tree Hill,' I get up and work out four to five days a week.
Being on a television show and having so many fans is something that I've never experienced before, and it's really neat when they come up to you and are like, 'That storyline is amazing and really spoke to me in my life,' and it's really cool. I really enjoy it.
I'm, like, super-clumsy and weird and funny and dorky.
The minute you feel secure about yourself and own the fact your dreams are honest true, other things fix themselves.
Our bodies are exploited so much in the media, I feel like everyone is made to feel like they're not worthy or beautiful.
If we all aim to love ourselves, every bit, we will become love and radiate beauty to all those around us.
Once you embrace that WHO you are defines you, you can conquer the world. What matters is what's in your heart, what your goals are and what kind of life you want to lead.
