anywhere learned love people worked
The most important thing I have learned from the people I've worked with is that you have to love what you do. That passion will drive you anywhere you want to go.
absolutely change
You shouldn't fight change. You should be absolutely open to change.
amazing
I'm always working with amazing people. They're just kind of put in my path.
across universal
In L.A., I live right across from Universal Studios.
chance geeky stay
I'm geeky about video games. I don't stay inside a lot and just play them 24/7, but if I had the chance, I probably would.
best girl life pictures quite scares scariest seen though
I haven't seen 'The Exorcist,' but I've seen a lot of pictures of the girl in it. So now I don't actually want to see it. She scares me so much. I don't know what it is, but even though it's quite old now, it still has the best and scariest make-up I've ever seen in my life.
bit car choose maybe money
If I could choose any car in the world, I'd get a Lamborghini, but I think that's a bit too much money. I'll start off with maybe a V8 or something.
based time work
I'm based in L.A., mainly. I'm pretty much there a lot of the time doing work.
interviews
Interviews are fun, but I get nervous at red carpets.
directing favorite love movies reason
I think, obviously, everyone has a lot of favorite movies, but I really for some reason just love Quentin Tarantino's writing and directing style.
bullying real school
I think everyone has been annoyed at school or in their life, that's a type of bullying. So, you can take those feelings and make them bigger. But I try not to use too much from my real life, because you'll be stuck with that all day.
fun independent done
I havent done a lot of studio movies, but studio movies and independent films are always just as fun as each other.
character simple challenges
I dont really like simple characters too much; its too easy. I like a challenge, and I like characters you connect with on screen.
fun dad thinking
I'm not really sure if I have anything that inspires me. I think what goes into my work is everything beforehand that I do with my dad. He teaches me acting, and I think maybe without him it would be pretty hard. I started acting for fun, really, because my dad's an actor and my sister's an actor, so I started doing it and it was normal. But it got places really fast, and I started doing feature film auditions and stuff.
