Sometimes, you just have to take a step back and realise what's important in your life, what you can live with, and more importantly, what you can't live without.
I told (God) I'd take every opportunity to speak for the kids who can't speak.
Staying physically active - walking or running every day - and eating healthily is the best way to stay fit.
I just think love is stupid.
People label you the way they know you best.
At the end of the day it's going to hurt your feelings if someone says something mean about you, but I've learned to take a step back and ask myself if it's really going to affect me, if this person who I'm never going to know or meet doesn't like me - and it doesn't.
Give yourself a compliment every day. I know this sounds silly, but it really is important. As girls, we spend countless hours focusing on our flaws and trying to correct them or cover them up. It's essential to focus on something you like about yourself. Maybe you're having a good hair day or your skin is looking especially healthy. Take a moment each day to focus on the good, and then try to carry that with you throughout the day, because while bangs don't look good on everyone, confidence does.
Listen to advice from people who have been there and done that. It is so hard to believe that when you are young, but parents, mentors, teachers, they can all be so valuable when it comes to advice.
When you're growing up, you play dress-up - it's a game, it's a pastime. And then as you get older, getting ready and looking nice becomes this constant stress. I want to make it fun again.
I think it's definitely important to look like yourself on a date. You don't want to look like someone else with too much makeup or too much hair.
I'm my happiest when I'm really busy. I love feeling like I need one more hour of sleep, or when I'm running around frazzled!
I think when you're put into a completely different situation and environment, you really see who you are. You're not affected by what's around you. You are who you are.
I try really hard to separate myself from other celebrity brands.
I've actually spent a lot of time researching beauty products, how they are produced and how they are sold.
People are just obsessed with other people's lives. I don't know whether it's kind of a way to escape their own, or something to follow I really couldn't tell you.
I like to know exactly what's being put into my food.
When you are working really hard and you're really focused on your career, a lot of other things suffer.
None of my friends call me L.C. That was just a high school nickname, and nobody refers to me like that anymore.
I like wearing scarves in my hair because they make me look put together without taking a lot of time.
I never wanted to end up in entertainment; that wasn't the goal.
I really, really want to produce. That's the top of my to-do list.
As soon as you stop thinking about them, they'll send you a text message or call you. Because they know you stopped thinking about them. It's like a radar.
I try to never look back at how I dressed in the first few seasons of 'Laguna Beach' because it was pretty bad... head-to-toe bad.
I make fun of guys when I like them. I act like I'm 10 years old. I do it as a test to see if they can laugh at themselves. If they get sensitive, then it's like, 'Um, this isn't going to work.'
In high school I spent most of my time in jeans and T-shirts or Juicy sweats. We're such a laid-back town. I mean, people wore bikinis under their clothes half the time, so you didn't really get dressed up to go to school.
