Cinderella story Quote by Chad Michael Murray
“When I did Freaky Friday, Lindsay was playing two characters, so she had a lot of work to do. She had to study Jamie really hard and Jamie had to study her. On Cinderella Story, Hilary got to come in and she just had to study what it's like to be a little insecure and she hasn't had that opportunity, I don't think. So she got to see what it was like to be not the cool chick. So, I don't know. You have to see it to know what I mean. That's the one perk that we get as actors is you get to really see how these people work, but you can't really explain it.”
