I'm an actor who hates dialogue and the present day and reality.
For years, I hated myself. I covered the mirrors in my house. I literally couldn't have a mirror in my room.
I've been to therapists my whole life. I find the less attention I pay to food, the healthier I am. Any obsession is dangerous. And a whole country that's obsessed with one thing, unless it's, like, jeans, it's very dangerous. Everyone's obsessed right now with carbohydrates in this country. It's ridiculous.
You won't see me in a better mood than 4:00 in the morning on my way to work.
I get so nervous. I happen to be socially awkward and shy. I spent a lot of my time as an adult not going places.
I'm trying to just go with the flow and learn from the people around me.
I knew I would never be cast as the pretty girl.
I'm incredibly naive.
As a teenager, my favourite rejection was, 'She looks too healthy,' which of course translates as, 'She needs to lose weight.'
It's fun to be sarcastic, but now I'm able to express myself in a way that's much more sincere.
My dream role would probably be a psycho killer, because the whole thing I love about movies is that you get to do things you could never do in real life, and that would be my way of vicariously experiencing being a psycho killer. Also, it's incredibly romantic.
I always think that I've embarrassed myself.
I certainly hope I'm not still answering child-star questions by the time I reach menopause.
I come from one of these hideous backgrounds where being sincere is like - ugh, you might as well kill yourself.
