Hayden Panettiere is on the cover of Seventeen Magazine. Here are excerpts from the interview:

On breaking up with Stephen Colletti:
"I just knew I wanted to breathe. I wanted to be single at the time. It just hit me like a ton of bricks: This is the time I need to be with myself. It takes such a secure person to be with someone like me—it takes so much confidence; it takes so much trust."

On wanting to be girly and just have fun:
"If I was a wonderful person, I'd run around in whatever clothes and have one outfit – and then I'd donate the rest of the money to charity. But no one is perfect, and no one is saying you have to give up everything in your life to change the world."
