ballet nine
When I was nine, I started doing ballet. That's when I knew that I was down to keep doing it.
school would-be program
I always did workshops. I would be at theater camp, doing shows, or after-school programs.
creative atmosphere age
I was never not in a show from ages 11 until 18. It was a great creative atmosphere but also a professional kind of atmosphere. When I finally went into the professional world, I felt ready. I was prepared for work.
crazy thinking would-be
I think it would be ridiculous to work with Tom Hardy. I hear some crazy things about him, and he's also really good.
realizing bigs so-sad
It's so sad, you get less starstruck when you start realizing that it's not a big deal.
real kids people
I got starstruck not by someone who is famous, but by someone who's famous in the miniature painting community. When I was a kid, I used to paint miniatures. There were famous people in the miniature community from forums online. I went to some big event and I saw them in real life and I was so starstruck.
art picture-taking ensemble
Picture-taking is an ensemble art-like theater.
taken careers awards
I’ve never taken time off from being an actor. This is the kind of career I’d be so happy to do until I die. I always joke to myself that I want to have a postmortem Academy Award Nomination.
forever important want
I don't just act, and that's really important to me. I don't want to just be an actor forever. I want to score movies. I could be an actor first, but I don't only want to be an actor.
beautiful love-you grateful
Fault is a beautiful, honorable love story that I hope I'll get to experience in my own lifetime. It makes you grateful for any love you have in your life,
basketball character thinking
I think it's important I stay connected to every part of my personality. I play basketball. I rock climb. I paint. I'm a little bit scattered, but it's so I can convincingly play all these characters.
life work
I think if you only work, then you won't have a life. It's tough to have a life when you're working a lot.
I think everyone should have social media - all young people, at least.
school
I never really did that well in school because I was so absorbed with doing acting.
