Real Life Quotes
| • |
[on her character Keely, from The Disney Channel's original series, Phil of the Future] Keely has such a love for life. She's such a nice person and she loves people. She loves helping Phil with all of his problems and she's always had his back whenever he needs her. She's a very fun person and she's the best friend that you could ever wish for. I do share a lot of characteristics with her. She doesn't really worry about life and neither do I. She just kind of lets things happen. Her fashion sense is similar to mine, but I don't wear quite as bright colors like she does. |

[on her picture in "Teen People", June/July issue] My character on the show ["Phil of the Future" (2004)_], Keely, wears a lot of really bright shades, like lime green and orange. They're fun colors, but I love natural colors, like this! |
