Quotes

Lauren: I know he is younger than me, but I absolutely love Zac Efron. His hair is always so pretty. (edit)
Lauren: (On who she thinks is the 'Sexiest Man Alive') For me, it's always Mark Wahlberg. I don't know, he's just so cute, he's like my weakness. (edit)
Lauren: I don't really even like attention on me. (edit)
Lauren: I don’t really have a talent- I can’t sing, or act, or dance, or perform- those talents. All I can do is be myself. When I first moved to Los Angeles to do The Hills, there were a lot of acting offers. But I had never really been interested in acting, although I did take a class to check it out. It was all right, but I just don’t think I could make a career out of something that I wasn’t really passionate about. Right now, I just want to enjoy this for as long as it lasts. I’d rather have a career based on something that makes me happy, and that has always been fashion. (edit)
Lauren: Recently we were celebrating a friend’s 21st birthday at this club. This girl comes up from behind me and taps me on the shoulder. I turn around to say hi and she says, ‘You’re a b-tch,’ and pours her drink on me. This is a girl I had never met before in my life. I was so shocked and the cameras were going and my friend Audrina was with me and she poured her drink on that girl! I’ve never been in a fight before and I don’t think fighting with girls like that is a very classy thing to do. I’d rather take the high road and not get into a fight. (edit)
Lauren: One time I was at an even with a friend of mine and we were walking through a crowd and saw Ashlee Simpson. She looked at me and said, ‘Hi, Lauren- I love your show and watch it all the time,’ and I was like Ashlee Simpson knows who I am!? I was a fan of hers and her show too! I’ll always remember that! I completely understand that doors have opened for me and that people know me just because of the show. I know that the show is at some point going to go away- and there’s a part of me that’s looking forward to that. But the only thing that is really going to go away is the opportunities I have. I’m still going to be in school and studying fashion. The one thing that I know for sure will be better when it’s all over is that dating will be a lot easier! (edit)
Lauren: I definitely feel a lot more comfortable with myself and I care a lot less about what other people think of me because I’ve learned when you’re in the public eye, people will take every opportunity to criticize you whether you deserve it or not. Every girl goes through that in one way or another. It’s just part of life. I had every insecurity a high school girl faces and I’m not saying I’m completely over all of that, but, it’s never as bad as we make it. I have so much respect for girls who are totally happy with themselves. (edit)
Lauren: I’ve had a couple of people betray me. I’m not a person who believes in holding grudges, but if one of my best friends did something really terrible to me, it would be very hard to ever really trust her again. What would stop her from doing something like that again? It’s not like that person just changes and suddenly becomes different. (edit)
Lauren: Breaking up with Jason was the hardest thing I’ve ever done. I still wanted to be with him but I knew that I couldn’t be. I was so fortunate to have Heidi, who is my best friend. She took me away on a road trip to Las Vegas and we had the best time. It was important for me to know that I could still have a good time without a boyfriend. I slept in her bed for a month because I couldn’t go into my room. And then I realized I just had to be out of that apartment because there were so many memories there, and she packed up all of my stuff and we moved. The only thing that heals a broken heart is time. But it really helps hanging out with your girlfriends as much as possible. (edit)
Lauren: I’m just a normal girl who is comfortable with who she is. I don’t believe in changing yourself for anybody and I think it’s really important for girls to be as comfortable with themselves as possible. Sometimes I look at what really young girls wear and I can’t believe it- I have underwear that covers more than what some of them have on! I think it’s important that girls know they can be attractive and sexy in a classy way and that guys actually like that more than when they see girls who show a lot of skin. For me, I like clothes and I like to wear them to cover up. (edit)
Lauren: I have wanted to be part of the fashion industry my whole life. I've learned from living in Los Angeles that it's not necessarily what you know, but who you know. I've been given an opportunity with Laguna Beach and The Hills, and my father- who is the smartest man I know- has advised me to capitalize on those opportunities. So that's what I'm trying to do- make contacts, get to know people. Hopefully that will help me as I start moving into my fashion career. That's my big goal. (edit)
Lauren: If kristin says she wants to leave one more time I swear I'm going to pick her up and physically remove her from the hotel! (edit)
Lauren: (On staying fit) I’ve cut most carbs from my diet and I work out with a trainer two days a week and hike when I can. I don’t think I look as much like a beach girl as I used to. I think I’ve just grown up. (edit)
Lauren: I'm a bad dater. I'm the most socially awkward person, like carrying on conversations and stuff. (edit)
Lauren: Love is not a maybe thing, you know when you love someone. (edit)
Lauren: Boys are like purses. You're always gonna have that one boy that you're always comfortable with and you know you'll always kind of like. That's your purse that you wear everywhere. Then you have that gorgeous bag that you want everyone to see you with but the gorgeous bag is usually an a**hole or costs a lot of money. Then you have those other purses that you really like but you really don't want to be seen with. (edit)
Lauren: Like everybody and trust no one. (edit)
Lauren: When I was six my neighbor taught me to paint and draw. We would sew and make clothes for my Barbie doll. Ever since then I've loved High Fashion and Designing. (edit)
Lauren: What happens in Cabo... stays in Cabo. (edit)
Lauren: Shoes make me happy. (edit)
