In my early career, I look at that time as a series of trial and error and learning as I go.
I worked regularly from very early on, and some of it was probably a bit premature.
I always feel like a goofy little kid.
It's fun to stay at the Y! M! C! A!
I feel like I have a skill set, but every experience is different and there's always room for improvement.
I took the role of Ophelia in Hamlet because she is so naive, loving, and innocent.
If I'm gong out to a club I like to have fun with it. I'll use blue or red sparkly eyeliners and glittery eye shadows. Then I'll put on some blue mascara. I focus on the eyes.
I'm going to Columbia University but I'm trying to keep that low-profile because I don't want weird people following me there. I want the experience of normal college life.
Yoga has stopped me from destroying my joints after running. It slows me down. My brain and body can go into overdrive - yoga teaches me to focus on the moment and not get ahead of myself.
I like analyzing human behavior. It's complex. That's what keeps me going.
Make yourself useful, not just on a day to day basis, but as a lifetime thing.
I met this homeless man who had never owned a shirt in his life. He had taken his pants and worn them as a shirt and I thought it was so creative. He was liberated from the conventions of fashion.
I'm really happy, like a dream come true for me. Life's good, so I can't complain.
With film, so much is in the director's hands. Once something is cut together - unless you're in the editing room - you don't really remember what the alternatives are.
