- [on American Reunion (2012)] This movie gives us permission to be juvenile in a way the real world doesn't let us be. As actors, how great is it to go back and act like stupid twelve-year-olds again?
- [on sharing an exact birthday with fellow singer-actress Jessica Simpson] It's an honor when people say that I must be what her twin brother would look like, if she had one. We've never collaborated, however - and quite honestly, I'm not sure we resemble each other closely enough to warrant the comparison.
