I think any opportunity you have to be green, whether it's in business or in everyday life, you should take it.

I've actually spent a lot of time researching beauty products, how they are produced and how they are sold.

The first series I wrote, 'L.A. Candy,' was always meant to be a three-book series, so when I started out it was all outlined that way and by the time I was done with the third book, I had become so involved and the process and the stories, I was a little bit sad to be done.

I haven't met a woman without insecurities.

During holiday parties I end up recycling a lot of my cocktail dresses and just wearing a layering piece, like a blazer and tights, with it.

There's not one person that I say I want to look like.

I love wearing designer pieces with something I found at Target.

There's not a business or a master plan as far as I'm concerned. I take it week by week, and I don't think you ever expect to be able to do the next thing.

I'm my happiest when I'm really busy. I love feeling like I need one more hour of sleep, or when I'm running around frazzled!

I'm not old-fashioned when it comes to dating, but there's something nice about a guy pulling out a girl's chair and opening the door for her, even if it's just in the beginning.

I don't call magazines and let them know about things so they can write stories.

I'm comfortable in front of the camera, but I can't act.

I read a lot of 'Spark Notes' in high school.

I love Chelsea Handler.

I can sleep anywhere. I'm like an infant.

One of my biggest goals, especially with writing YA novels, is just to have people enjoy reading.

I don't stage my own publicity.

I love anything really feminine. I love any sort of girly detail - anything with a bow or a heart on it, I'm immediately in love with.

I think that like most girls in high school, I just mirrored what was around me.

I've always been a big fan of Phillip Lim. He'll always be a favorite of mine.

I go into meetings, and people have this preconceived notion of me that I didn't work hard to get where I am.

You should never need a guy to make you feel complete.

I think it's definitely important to look like yourself on a date. You don't want to look like someone else with too much makeup or too much hair.

In high school I spent most of my time in jeans and T-shirts or Juicy sweats. We're such a laid-back town. I mean, people wore bikinis under their clothes half the time, so you didn't really get dressed up to go to school.

The normal 21-year-old doesn't have to worry about their night out being put on TMZ.

Like most people, I used to wear clothing off the rack. But having them fitted to me makes a really big difference, especially with pieces like a cocktail dress. Little nips and tucks can take 10 pounds off you.

I never wanted to end up in entertainment; that wasn't the goal.

A lot of people in fashion don't want to be linked with anything that has to do with reality TV.

No one eats pretty.

I try really hard to separate myself from other celebrity brands.

I think that makeup can be challenging, especially when you are younger.

I think that it's really nice to learn that makeup is different for every person. Everyone has a different feature on their face that they like to show off.

I think when you're put into a completely different situation and environment, you really see who you are. You're not affected by what's around you. You are who you are.

I like wearing scarves in my hair because they make me look put together without taking a lot of time.

If you're on the cover of any magazine, you certainly get recognized more.

Most of my friends all tend to work in restaurants part time, doing acting classes on the side.

I love going on book tours because it's an opportunity to connect with the people that matter most to my brand.

I really, really want to produce. That's the top of my to-do list.

I think there is a niche for every market.

I like to involve myself in charities that help children and also young women in need.

I've always been open to doing reality again. Just under certain circumstances.

Five years on TV is a really, really long time.

You don't want a slob, but you don't want a guy who is constantly borrowing your tweezers.

I can't even read a script. I've tried and it's painful to watch.

Scripts are corny and predictable. Real life is always better.

I'm meant for California.

The only thing that ever really bothers me is that a lot of people think I'm that girl who hates your boyfriend. I'm really not that girl. Some of my friends' boyfriends are my best friends.

I wouldn't include a piece in my collection that I wouldn't wear personally.

As a designer, you are flattered to see anyone in one of your designs, whether it's on a red carpet or passing by you in the market. It's this wonderful little high every time.

At the end of the day it's going to hurt your feelings if someone says something mean about you, but I've learned to take a step back and ask myself if it's really going to affect me, if this person who I'm never going to know or meet doesn't like me - and it doesn't.
