My parents never said I had to be 16 to date, but that has been the rule for all my friends.

I had to take the driver's test twice. And they don't make you parallel park anymore, but you can't hit the curb when you're backing up. And I hit the curb.

I love entertaining people and making them laugh. It's my favorite thing to do.

I think the Beatles are a lot of people's favorite band.

I'm an only child, and after making the movie [Yours, Mine and Ours], I know it would be awesome to have 17 brothers and sisters in real life.

I write songs all the time in my room. I play them for my friends and family.

I'm on the Web a lot. I like to play games online. Sometimes I play Sims.

You have to wipe yourself down, to stay clean. If ya' girl clean, and ya' thoughts clean, wipe 'em down. Wipe 'em down man.

It actually does matter what people think about you.

Young people should think in a different way - they should be job givers not job seeker.

Today you may not be familiar with the happiness habit. But like any new behavior, happiness can be learned.

I think that's the important thing - being aware of that inspiration and being able to interpret it into something that's meaningful for you.
