Seeing my face on a poster is surreal. You look at it and it's not quite like you, if you know what I mean... it's almost a third person kind of thing. I still find it strange.

No matter where you are or where you grow up, you always go through the same awkward moments of being a teenager and growing up and trying to figure out who you are.

I don't know if I've ever been in a clique. The older I've gotten, the more I've realized what a true friend really is. So my friendship circle has changed a bit.

Whatever you do, be happy with you. Don't conform. You are who you are, and you shouldn't change that for anybody.

Don't worry about everything and really enjoy the moment.

Animals in general have always been my passion, project, crusade - whatever you want to call it! The ocean is such a huge, beautiful thing that I feel like we all take for granted.

I was never part of that cliquey girl drama. Most of my friends were guys growing up, so I was never part of that whole toxic energy. It seemed like way too much hassle.

In my own personal time, horror films freak me out too much, so I tend to steer clear of watching horror films on my own.

I don't have a TV at my house. I literally do not. I have a television, but I don't have anything plugged into it, though. I watch DVDs.

The teenage years are ridiculously crucial and hard and, um, awkward.

In the fall of leaves, In the hustle of breeze, In the curve of streams, I foresee, Nature keeps more concealed, Than it lets us peep!

Where there is passion, there is possibility.

Since I stopped writing, I read more than ever. Other people's words, not my own--my words are gone.

It is difficult to believe in the dreadful but quiet war lurking just below the serene facade of nature.

Turkey's economy is powerful enough to tackle tough times.

I like working with different directors; it keeps you on your toes.

I have four or five ideas that just keep floating around and I want to kind of just let one - like a beautiful butterfly, let it land somewhere.

We have a moral responsibility to protect the earth and ensure that our children and grandchildren have a healthy and sustainable environment in which to live.

I am amazed to see how deliberately I have entangled myself step by step. To have seen my position so clearly, and yet to have acted so like a child!

I've always wanted to sail around the world in a handmade boat and I built a boat.
