I don't know that I have any role models now that are fixed. Definitely my mom - she's the coolest. She's worked really hard her whole life and I just think she's got a great attitude. Moms just know so much it's so silly.
Everyone tries to talk you out of going to college. The consensus being that people are just gonna forget about you, you know, and that's the way the business works.
I hate Valentine's day. It is a day for nothing but disappointment.
I love my job so much, and not everyone can say that and I recognize how lucky that is.

I'm a normal person and I don't have superpowers! I do normal things, too.
I've had a pretty charmed life, so there's nothing that I need to take too seriously right now.
If I had to choose, I'd choose my friends over my career.
Don't get discouraged, and think positive all the time. Don't get down on yourself if you lose out a couple of times. It's just a lot of hard work.
I definitely think that movies have the possibility to be something positive, and are really becoming teaching tools for a lot of kids growing up.
Honestly, I have yet to encounter a really bad working experience. Sets are really my favorite places to be because of the many varied and interesting people you get to meet, interact and collaborate with. And I have always developed strong bonds with female costars. No cattiness yet!
If my mom reads that I'm grammatically incorrect, I'll have hell to pay.
College inspired me to think differently. It's like no other time in your life.
