Quotes

  • Miranda Cosgrove: I play Guitar Hero and Rock Band a lot but I'm not very good. (laughs)
  • Drake and Josh:
    "Megan drives them crazy with her pranks. She even drenches them from head-to-toe with paint. I’d never do anything like that."
    "Well I'm pretty much up to the same old things, tricks and crazy stuff. I'm dying drakes feet and hands green, so I've been doing pretty much the same kind of crazy stuff."
    "I had always watched the Amanda Show. I loved watching drake and josh, I thought they were really cool so I was excited about doing the show."
    "We're constantly laughing. People mess up their lines all the time, but it's just funny. It's like a big family now, because, once you get to know everybody so well, it was our fourth season we just did, so, it's like we know each other so well, nothing is embarrassing anymore. So that's nice. But of course when I first started, I was really nervous about meeting Drake and Josh just from seeing them on the Amanda show. I was like, so nervous about acting with them. I was like, oh my God. But now it's really comfortable, and it's really fun."
  • Miranda Cosgrove (on appearing on The Dr. Phil Show): It was great. We had such a good time. Never a dull moment on set, considering the 18 kids. It never got boring.
  • Miranda Cosgrove (on her film Yours, Mine and Ours): I'm an only child, and after making the movie, I know it would be awesome to have 17 brothers and sisters in real life. My character's name is Joni North and I'm kind of like the rooster in the family because I have to wake everybody up every morning with my saxophone. I've never played saxophone before, this is my first time. I got to take a couple of lessons, and it was so much fun.
  • Miranda Cosgrove (on appearing in School of Rock): Being in the movie was really cool. Sometimes we had to do takes over, but Jack always kept us going. He was fun. I've been acting since I was 2, so I've been doing it for about 7 years. I did the screen test for my fourth audition and I met Jack Black, and I really wanted it, and two weeks later I got the call to pack my bags and come to New York.
  • Miranda Cosgrove: I'm lucky because all of my friends are from elementary school, so they just see me as the same dorky Miranda that they knew before. So they still think I'm a total dork, the TV show doesn't help. Drake always says not to act like you're better than everybody else, because a lot of people get into acting, and they get like a commercial or something, and they think they're a big star, which is terrible. So he's helped me with that, not acting like you're really great?
  • Miranda Cosgrove: (on Last of the Mustangs) I play a girl that comes from the city and goes to a ranch for the summer. She meets another girl that lives on the ranch and they end up finding a wild Mustang. The girls end up taming it. It was a really fun movie to do!
  • Miranda Cosgrove: It's crazy when I watch myself on TV. I'm always thinking like 'oh no how could I have done that', and I go crazy like seeing these little things that I do that probably other people would never even notice and stuff like that.
  • Miranda Cosgrove: I get pretty good grades but I'm not the bookworm type. I'm more laid back. I'll do my homework at 10 o'clock and finish it at 1 in the morning.
  • Miranda Cosgrove: I actually fence, and I horseback ride, and I play the guitar, which is really fun. Basically, I just hang out with my friends and go see movies constantly. I'm a movie junkie, I love movies. We have a Friday night movie thing, everybody from Drake and Josh meets and we go see a movie every Friday night.
  • Miranda Cosgrove: One fan asked me to sign their sock -laughs- that was crazy. They just took off their shoe and handed me their sock and asked if I'd sign it.
  • Miranda Cosgrove: I do have a journal, that I write all my thoughts in every day. So that's kind of something. I also have a burn box where I write secrets down and put it in a box.
