Famous Quote: “For me, what I really want to come out of it is to show people that I can hold together a movie, be the number one character and play someone who is twenty or twenty one. I love the fashion world. I love clothes. I love style. People tend to think they know you when u come into their TV’s every week. They think you are different than who you are. Don’t believe everything u here.”
