I credit Kansas City with my work ethic and learning from the amazing artists that are in that town.

I'm always going back to New York for Broadway workshops or reading. So I always keep my foot in the door: I'm always on the lookout for the next Broadway show.

Women are tough; women are resilient and have an undying hope.

In Bulgaria, they use the Cyrillic alphabet, which is completely different from ours. You can't sound the words out, so you can't read street signs or packages in the grocery store! You have to rely on pictures and guesses.

Women are tough, but sometimes women present toughness in different ways.

I see each project as an opportunity to grow as a person and as an actor.

Guys and girls can be friends without having to date!

When I'm not on set, I'm in the studio.

Girl power to me means being brave enough to take that first step and to speak out and be yourself.

Remember to reach for the stars, and they won't be able to resist flying into your hands!

I'd love to do an action film. I'd love to do a film based on a book series; I love to read the book and then go see the movie. I'd love to have a show on Disney; I love working for them. And I'm also working on getting some new music out of my own.

My two best friends, they love amusement parks. They are such roller-coaster daredevils, and they drag me on every single roller coaster they can find. Some of my favorite experiences have been when they've taken me to Disneyland or Six Flags or Universal.
