• Quotes
[In 2007, about her future] I think I’m focusing on not doing a horror movie after this, but it’s been fun. Each project has been an entirely different experience.
[About leaving home and moving to New York] I left home when I turned 17 and ran away to New York. I did a lot of moving. I was based in New York and country-hopping, so I was always ‘the new girl’.
[About her Best Kiss nomination on MTV Movie Awards 2008 and about Disturbia (2007)] We did as much as possible, which was great. I love that D.J. really made a point to do that. What I love about it is the movie is really fun. You really feel like you are a part of the spy team. I did when I watched it and there’s so many laughs and you’re having a really good time. It’s a good ride and then when it gets intense, it’s really scary. So, it’s a building story and that’s what I really like. It is a lot about the characters and I think that makes the end even scarier.
[About cheerleading] I didn’t cheer in high school. I was the farthest thing from a cheerleader in high school. We made fun of cheerleaders. Everybody did! But no more. All that choreography? I couldn’t make sense of it.
