I'd Love To Be An

The Best Part About Working Is That You Never Know What You're Going To Learn When You Start Out.

After Princess Diaries, I Was Labeled A Good Girl, And For The First Eight Years Of My Career I Had To Fight To Get Any Other Kind Of Role. But I Like Fighting For A Job, Actually. Once You Get It, You Feel Like You've Emerged Victorious From The Scrap And You're Like, "ok, This One's Mine. Did It. Done."

I'd Like To Be A Working Actor. It Sounds Really Trite, But There Really Are No Small Parts, Only Small Actors. And So As Long As I'm A Working Actor, I Can Improve.

Taking A Year Off And Going To School Was The Best Thing I Could Have Done After 'the Princess Diaries.' It Taught Me That I Don't Need Hollywood Or A Job To Make Me Happy.
