I feel very at home in London for some reason.
— Mischa Barton
I just really love hanging out with really old people. They're the best dinner dates you could ever have. All that life experience and understanding.
It's very flattering, I guess, to be considered so popular at a young age. It's kinda cool.
I think reality TV is a little tougher for me than I thought it would be.
Keep your head on your shoulders - even when you think your head is on your shoulders, sometimes it isn't!
Throughout my career, people have totally confused 'Laguna Beach' and 'The O.C.' I think, in people's minds, it all kind of got blurred over time.
It's really weird when people scrutinize every little thing about you and talk about your outfits and your weight and who you're dating... and there's absolutely nothing you can do about it.
I like being understatedly sexy.
I kind of live under a rock, to be honest. I very much stay in my little film world.
I don't mind nudity; I just don't do it often.
I love to draw people's faces. I do that all the time.
The only way to be happy and be a more enjoyable person to be around is to embrace what you've got. Everyone has issues about their body, but I feel confident now. I'm healthy and happy.
I just love to be able to be in control of my life.
People are fascinated by me and always have been, and I have no clue why.
I love being hands-on.
I was 17 years old and fresh out of high school in New York when I got cast on 'The O.C.' It was a huge time in my life and I'm grateful for it.
I just like to be seen for the hard-working actress that I am and not for a bunch of extraneous press.
My most ideal date would be something spontaneous, probably a concert, where there's good music and we can talk and hang out.
Modeling is just one of those things that goes along with acting. When it's offered, it's hard to say no, because it's fun.
I'm into 'Girls.' I'm into 'Vinyl,' a little bit.
I'm still getting used to changing earrings - It still feels really weird to be pushing bits of metal through holes in my earlobes that weren't there a few weeks back, and actually seeing and feeling the holes in my lobes is still a bit freaky.
I have a career, I worked so hard for it.
I do intelligent roles. I don't want to be labeled as doing silly movies. I'm more mature than kids my age because I'm constantly surrounded by adults.
It kind of irritates me that I'm seen as this pretty face. People also say I'm too thin. The truth is pretty people aren't as accepted as other people. It comes with all these stigmas.
There's been times I've thought, 'I don't want to be an actress forever,' and there are times when I feel I can't live without it because I love it so much.
Every woman has cellulite. I've never claimed to have a perfect body.
I know I'm never going to be a professional ballroom dancer.
I moved to Europe and was able to take time and really explore who I was and who I wanted to be. I needed that time for myself to really do that self-exploration and get back in touch with my roots.
If you're not being yourself, it shows immediately. The camera doesn't lie.
I get bored with working out, so I'm more into playing sports like soccer and basketball.
Before 'The OC,' I was on track to do some great films... and one thing happens, and then I got this mega-stardom all from this show.
I'm always into rock n' roll and indie rock.
I'm not really sure what people's preconceived notions are. I don't look at the gossip websites - it's unhealthy and I think it's a large part of what drives people in L.A. crazy.
I like playing dark, offbeat, quirky characters.
I like guys who are confident but not cocky, who are comfortable with themselves, and who know what they want.
Pretty people aren't as accepted as other people. It's like, 'She's pretty and thin and she's got to have problems. She's messed up.'
