Find out who you are & embrace it. It's so much easier to face criticism when you are comfortable in your own skin.
I like Cinderella, I really do. She has a good work ethic. I appreciate a good, hard-working gal. And she likes shoes. The fairy tale is all about the shoe at the end, and I'm a big shoe girl.
School was hard for me. If there had been a school for the creative arts, I might have thrived, but... I needed that creative outlet so much. Also, I'm just bad with numbers.
I research every part thoroughly. I talk it out with my actor friends, but then I throw it all away when I get to the set. You have to be spontaneous.
I like not being noticed. It has been a struggle because I love performing, but if I'm in a group of people and someone has a bigger personality, I'm like, 'Go ahead, and have fun!'
I knew I wanted to be a performer, but I didn't know I would specifically be in film. I actually never thought I would be in film. I always envisioned being on the stage.
I'm not the kind of actress who asks a lot of questions of my directors unless it's something I really need to know.

And the kid is saying, 'That is not Giselle. No way. That is some worn-out girl who really needs a bath.'
My dad is a singer. He used to sing in nightclubs, or pizza joints.
My natural response to a stressful situation is to shut down. I do weird things, like, I don't cry, I get really cold.

You're always surprised. Even people who were considered locks for a nomination were surprised. This year, there are so many first-time nominees, 14 out of the 20 in the acting categories, I believe. I'm sure it was overwhelming for everybody, but I definitely was surprised.
