Seeing my friends succeed, find love, or just feeling content makes me feel unconditionally happy.
I love being natural. I never feel more beautiful then after I've been to the beach and my hair's just a crazy mess of salt curls, or when I've just been outside all day hiking.
Being a teenager is chaotic because you're kind of coming into your own, but you're not an adult; you're fighting with your parents over responsibilities and freedom.
I was a 2-year-old baby on something, but it's not like I had lines. But I actually had my first lines when I was 4. And then I finished school, and I went to USC for their BFA program in acting.
I can tell if I'm being lied to or manipulated a little better than most. It's definitely an advantage for me.
You have to remember what's most important in life. I am loved by so many people and have a wonderful job. I know I'm incredibly blessed. I am a completely lucky human being.
In college, that was when I felt that acting is the one I really wanted because I got to be my true self; this is what I want to do for the rest of my life.
On my Instagram, my boyfriend will take pictures of me, or someone else will take a picture of me, and they're like, 'What is wrong with her? She looks sick.' And I'm like, 'No I just don't have two hours of hair and makeup, you guys.'
When I was 5 years old, my best friends were Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen because we lived across the street from each other.
I've had a lot of girls reach out to me about struggling with body image. I've only been able to write back to a few of them, but I've been able to write and have correspondence with a few of them and really talk about what I think they should do or if I think they should ask for help.
I'm mostly pretty quiet on the weekends. I either read or visit friends or go hiking or something like that.
My high school was a private school where you went to an Ivy League. That's just what was expected of you and nothing less. So I grew up never being okay with a 'B' because a 'B' was not good enough.
I'm not a glamorous girl. I don't know how to do my hair. I'm very bad with makeup.
I was going to move to New York after college and had no interest in pilot season. I'd seen what happened on TV shows because of my dad, and I didn't want to open myself up to that. But 'Pretty Little Liars' had a very early audition, and my agents encouraged me to go even though I didn't think it would be my thing.
I hate nothing more than having my nails painted. I feel like I'm in time out.
I grew up with brothers. Girls terrified me.
My dad is a successful television producer, director and writer and my mom's a director and writer.
Even when I was young I wanted to be an actress.
It's a very wonderful yet difficult thing to be given a lot of really good opportunities and the world is at your fingertips.
Hollywood is a challenging place; it's very easy for people to lose their heads. Fortunately, I grew up on it and I think I have a little bit of a head start.
