I'd like to play characters who are older - I don't want to be playing 14-year-olds too much longer
I just want to act. I just want to do the work.
I'm 24. I think when I was 18, 19, I had a problem with it because I wanted to look older and more womanly. I look in the mirror and I don't feel or look 14 to myself, regardless of what other people think. I'm fine with it and it really doesn't matter what age I'm playing.
I've always loved acting with adults versus like the whole High School feel.
Obviously you don't want to be anonymous, but you don't want everyone to know your life.
I did musicals from about age 10 to 18.
There will always be a few people who have the courage to love what is untamed inside us. One of those men is my father.
For Astrid, no matter what challenges they go through, they are going to face each other. It's hard for a daughter to accept that her mother is that selfish and that terrible.
But you're not necessarily ever going to be handed a script where you can say: it's all done and perfect
I mean, God, I'm so lucky right now with the opportunities that I've had. There's nothing to worry about
I still get really nervous, though, before each performance. It kind of hits about 15 minutes before we go onstage - sometimes I don't even want to go on. But once I'm onstage I'm fine
I mean, I like to think of myself as being strong and independent, but I definitely wasn't like that at 14
My dad's an architect and my mom owned a French bakery for twelve years
I don't think I'll ever be comfortable with the idea of being famous.
