I think I'm better at playing difficult than I am at being normal. And to me that's something I'm working on now. I'm not really that difficult or complex a person, so it's interesting to me that it's just so much harder for me to play an everygirl.
To play someone who is who they are because of the happiness and contentedness that they've known in their life is interesting because of sort of how banal it is.
All the roles are for boys. The girls' roles are either small or all the same. There's just nothing interesting.
I think I'm better at playing difficult than I am at being normal.
Nobody's kissing my ass, unfortunately. I could use a little. But then again, my personality isn't conducive to butt-kissing.
I'm always in bed by 11 or 12 and people laugh all the time - they want me to hang out until two in the morning, but n-n-no, I need my nine hours.
I hate sitting around and talking about the emotional background of a character. She is a storybook character, she's not real. That means you have so much more freedom, in that you don't have to make anything she does believable or make people believe her choices in the story.
W called me 'the young Delta Burke.' It's so silly. I weigh 105 pounds and wear a size two, but for some reason I'm a heavyweight.
I could easily exist on less money, but I like the way I live now.
Everything, I think, about acting is based on imagination.
Now my body is really womanly - a little too much so. It's something I can fall back on. When I don't know what else to do, I stick my chest out.
I always knew that I was kind of bored; the regular life of a child didn't fit me.
My mom knows when something is real and something is not.
I really wanted to work with Tim, ... I've been a big fan of Tim's for a long time.
