The thing that 'Annie' means to me is that it is good to always be strong, and if you have a goal, go for it, and if there is something in your way, just go around and find your path again, and go for your goal.

Of course, when strangers see me, they're star-struck because of who I am, but my friends take me as a friend because I'm their friend - not because I'm a movie star.

I'm not gonna name names, but sometimes when reporters are talking, it gets a little boring because I don't have any jokes to tell because the questions are so serious.

My favorite animal is a polar bear. They're going extinct, and I really don't want that to happen.

I envision the script as a story in my mind, memorize the entire thing and have it play out. It helps me figure out where my character needs to go.

I loved experiencing city life in New York.

I would read all day if I could.

I feel like I'm five sometimes because I still enjoy myself. I enjoy what I do.

I just keep doing what I'm doing and don't ever give up.

It was really fun working with Jamie Foxx and Cameron Diaz on set.

If you are a 5-year-old, you just go ahead and try something. You don't think about it. You are just a little kid.

I want to just be what kids believe in.

My favorite actor is - I can't believe I'm saying this - is Meagan Good. I've met her in person.

I love all the Pixar movies, and I like 'Happy Feet Two.' 'Cause it has a lot of babies.

Don't listen to what other people say about you negatively!

I actually had to learn what an Oscar was.

If I have to be fierce, I'll be fierce.

Doing the long lines - it looks easy when actresses do it: they just say it straight up, looks like they do nothing wrong, they just keep going, but it's not like that.

I get to meet different directors and different people.

I want to meet everybody on 'Disney Channel' and 'Disney XD' that are alive.

I love penguins.

As soon as I get home, all I want to eat is seafood.

I work with my acting coach to help me get into character and do pronunciation drills and tongue twisters to help me deliver lines.

When I need to cry, I think of very sad things, mostly about animals.

It's kind of good to do things while you're young.
