Adolescence isn't just about prom or wearing sparkly dresses.
I tell my agent that I want to read everything.
I think everyone should follow their instincts, and go with what they feel, and follow their heart.
I think sleep's really important. I value it as much as waking up and having a full day.
For a child actor, its a matter of listening, reacting, and being able to put yourself in a new place without being scared.
Some locations are so terrible, you can't even breathe, and you still have to act.
We are all searching for some form of family or foundation - for a place we can feel safe and secure.
When I'm not working, I definitely I like waking up at noon.
I think it's an individual thing. Your mountains are my molehills.
There's so much more (to say) about being young and being a woman, but I feel like not a lot of those stories are being told, so you have to grab onto what ever small truths you can find and present it in the most honest way you can.
No matter who the characters are, you can strip them down and find small universal truths.
In L.A., if you're an actor, your personal and professional lives are too intertwined.
I used to want to be a children's writer, because I would have all these great ideas when I was little, and I'd write them and draw them, and turn them into class.
If you put the right things into the universe, the right things will come to you.
