I find that with fantasy, you lose yourself in it a lot. It's great to be able to go into a dark theater or turn off the lights in your house and just get sucked into this world. I remember watching Star Wars when I was a little kid when they did the re-release of all the originals. I couldn't even read yet but my uncle took me and he would read me the opening as the words were coming up on the screen. I just remember being so sucked into that and thinking, "I want to be Luke Skywalker."
As soon as you start feeling like you can't trust the person and you need to check his phone or have his Facebook password or look through his messages - as soon as that trust barrier is broken - it's hard to keep a relationship going after that.
I've played guitar and piano for a while, so it's really fun to play music on film.
Depression and anxiety can't fit in your head if you're cultivating feelings of joy and inspiration.
I've always been really into action movies. Since I was little, that was my favorite type of film.
I don't have many walls that I put up.
I'd always loved movies. I watch them all the time; my dad is a huge movie buff.
I am such a music fiend. I go after so many different types of music. I'm on iTunes constantly just buying new music!
I was scouted at the age of 10 by a Hollywood agent. I was a really shy, geeky-looking thing, and started in the industry by doing 'extra' work on films.
Film and television are just different. Film is cool because it's a complete package. You know the beginning, middle, and end. You can plan it out more, which I like. But with television you get a new script every week, so it's constantly a mystery as to what you're going to be doing.
The people who support me are so great! They all say such nice things that make me feel really great. I love it when people compliment me on the way I act, because it is not an easy thing, and there is so much criticism out there.

I love English girls! I adore all their different accents. Who knows, I could find a British girlfriend on my travels!
There is hardly anything more confusing than a really strong-willed woman and when you are surrounded by two of them in the midst of trying to save the world, it really adds to some drama!
