I have always wanted to act ever since I was a little girl. I would put a blanket under my shirt and pretend that I was pregnant. Then, I would go through childbirth.
I think I really like psychology because my job is all about getting inside another person's mind and thoughts.
In the happy scenes there were really fun times. Sean would say really funny stuff because he likes to improv. I would want to laugh, but you are not allowed to do that during the take.
To work with Robert De Niro was like a dream come true. He' s such a nice person to be around, and I learned something from him everyday.
When I'm in front of it, it's different than anything else. It's a different feeling. Thoughts are just going through your head. You're not even really thinking about other things or what you are going to do next.
I think it's just when you're playing the character, just kind of into your character, you're kind of thinking and feeling what she's thinking and feeling at the time, ... So if she's doing that, you're doing that.
I would love to have a career like the one she's had, from child actress to just actress. And she directs. And everybody knows how smart she is.

I think every little girl wants a pony, ... So, it's exciting. For me, if I didn't have a horse, I'd want to go and see another little girl who had a horse.
