I went through a few phases of finding myself: I dabbled in musical theater, chess club, dance troupe, splatter-painting, school mascot (go Wildcats), babysitter, photojournalist, drill team girl, emo kid - and not one of them defined me, but every single one will always play a part in who I am.

I never wash my hair the night before an event - I call it second day hair, and it holds better.

I'm definitely interested in making more music and uploading new covers; I like to take suggestions because it's more fun if people know the song.

I'm very practical and realistic.

I'm definitely careful. I'm not reckless or stupid, but that's how I was raised, to not be stupid or immature in as far as trying to grow up too quickly or putting forward a certain image that isn't me.

I can look back at things I've done and said and worn and be completely humiliated by them, but I can never say it wasn't me. I feel really honored to say that.

I work with kids, and I see certain things, so I realize now why my mother was so horrified and overprotective of everything that I watched.

My mom always makes the whole family pile into the car and drive around to look at the Christmas lights. My brother and I never want to do it, but my mom just loves it!

More than anything, acting helped me discover who I'm not. I've learned that I'm a girly girl, but not a prissy girl.

Music is such an intensely personal thing for me, and I knew if I was going to do it, it would be in my own way.

I'm not making music for people who like Disney shows. I make music for people who like music.

I grew up moving around. I went to seven different schools, so I know what it's like to be that new girl and have to not only know who you are but also take that into foreign circumstances and know how to respond.

I want in 40 years to still be acting and to more than anything have longevity and not just be this huge flash in the pan and then disappear.

With 'Suite Life,' I had three years to sit a little bit on the back burner and learn with less pressure.

I wouldn't do the music thing if it weren't for my brother, who's a producer. He understands me and helps my vision come to life.

Hi. My name is Debby, and I am a storyteller. I don't think of myself as an actress. I am more like a face that takes words on a page, and puts them in front of your eyes.

When you're in an industry where you're forced to grow up so quickly, part of you never grows up, and that's a good thing.

Before the whole Disney realm had undergone this huge revamping, as a kid, I always saw myself doing these dramatic indie parts. And then I fell in love with doing comedy and doing kid shows and really working for kids.

I remember going to acting class, so certain that no one's ever going to know my name.
