"Leslie isn't afraid of anyone and isn't afraid to express her creativity. I fell in love with her positive energy. Loren, in 'The Reaping', is a mysterious character that keeps the viewer always guessing what she is really up to. I really like that."- on Leslie Burke, Bridge to Terabithia
"Yeah, they asked me to sing a song for Bridge to Terabithia, which was a little intimidating. I actually tried to quit a couple times, but they just really wanted me to do it. And I'm glad I did, because it was an experience I've never done before, and stretched me, and I had a good time, and it was a fun thing."
"I knew it would be a stretch for me (playing a 'tough skater chick' in Doubthing Thomas), I even had to learn how to skateboard, which was fun and difficult at the same time."
"She (Cassie in 'West Texas') is so literate, confident and complex. Her speech is very adult.
- on her recent roles.
"I want to go to college. I want to have other options. But, as I get more and more involved with filmmaking, I just grow to love it more and more. There are just so many different avenues, and I hope I can keep on acting. I have been very blessed, and I have been very fortunate, and my family has been so supportive, but I think, in the end, I’ll end up producing and acting. That’s what I think I am going to do."
"I draw questions like 'What's over the rainbow?'"
- on decorating her jeans.
"Yes, Johnny Depp was great to work with (in 'Charlie'). Everybody asks me that, so I thought I would throw that in. Johnny is really down to earth and loves to crack jokes on the set."
"At first I was really, really nervous when I was doing a reading with him, but then he started talking and he was just so kind, and he really is just the nicest man."
- on working with Johnny Depp.
"I'm not as competitive as Violet, because she's a little too overly competitive. But I am a little competitive, that's why it was fun to lay her and sort of overdo my actual competitiveness.";
-On her character Violet in 'Charlie'.
"Well, Wayne Wang, the director, really helped me become a more mature actress. When I first started filming, I was really over the top. He just helped bring me down and make me real. That was really wonderful, a really wonderful experience. Also, what I learned about filming is it takes forever. I mean, there are so many different angles and shots. I mean, it just takes forever."
- on filming Winn Dixie.
"I gave him two wishes, I turned around twice, kissed him on both sides a couple of times, then rubbed him on my head to make him smart. And I gave him two hearts. So if her lost one - like if someone broke his heart - he's have a spare"
- on building her stuffed frog (named Fred the French frog) at 'Build-A-Bear'.
"I really like Natalie Portman. She went to college, and she's still in the film industry, making good choices in her career. And I think Hilary Swank and Charlize Theron — they're both two actresses that I've worked with and that I admire for how good they are, what they do, how grounded they are, how kind they are to everyone, and they treat everybody the same."
"Well, I’m kind of an urban girl. I like big cities. I like New York. I like London. I like L.A. I like people. I get lonely, really, really easily. But, I think it was good. It was very different and I think that’s good."
- on filming in a small town.
"Yes! Oh my gosh. 100% yes, definitely. I've always wanted to go to college. I don't know what college--just to explore the world. I want to learn languages, many, multiple languages. And I love to help people, so I think it would be fun to do some nonprofit work. I already am doing nonprofit work, but just to try to help people."
- on college
"It's just what comes along with the job. It's increasing more and more; there's more recognition, but sometimes I feel a little bad for my friends when we go to the mall. I feel bad for them rather than for myself, because they might feel a little bit uncomfortable or they’re just tired of it. But you know, I’m just AnnaSophia, and I'm just going to the mall and I'm as goofy as ever, and they'll get stopped, and it makes them feel kind of uncomfortable, so I feel bad for my family. But I knew this was coming, and I just have to deal with it with grace."
