I honestly don't know where the high voice thing came from in the first place. Why do people have high voices? Emotional problems? What is that? It could easily be that. And now I'm getting more normal, and my voice is getting deeper.
I don't take anything at face value. I always look for the reasons people are the way they are.
I observe a lot of you drunk people. What I do is I just let myself go there and fully commit to that drunk thing, not that I've ever done that myself. I've had a lot of practice. Let's be honest.
I've always surrounded myself with funny people,
I don't understand why people think it's harder to do drama than it is to do comedy.
I'm terrified by speaking in front of people!
Perfect people are the scariest people to me.
Growing up, I wasn't as comfortable expressing myself as I am now, and I think that's why I chose acting: because it's acceptable to have your feelings. It's a place that they want you to feel. Whereas in life, growing up, it was 'Be quiet!' and 'Keep it to yourself.'
I was teased relentlessly when I was a kid about my voice, so it's kind of nice that now I'm making a lot of money with it.
Sixteen is a hard time. A lot of kids are experimenting with things.
Men. We love them. We respect them. But we rarely get to objectify them.
I feel very protective of younger actresses, because it was so hard for me in the business.
I feel like I could be good at directing or producing, but I don't know.
Don't assume I have everything figured out... I get as confused about life as everybody, and sometimes I think I'm just hurtling through the world without a plan at all.
