thinking everything-happens-for-a-reason failing
I think everything happens for a reason, so there is no such thing as fail.
thinking names goal
I think we have the same goals in mind. We are not planning on just all of a sudden taking a film and separating. Hopefully one day she can direct me in something, or I will direct her. Or we'll produce a movie under our company's name
thinking one-day sides
I think one day I want to be on the other side of the camera-maybe directing
thinking space important
I feel like when I carry a bigger bag it looks like it's a huge bag because I'm really tiny. But I do think it's important to have the space that you need, because we throw everything in our bags at all times. I think every woman does.
thinking asking-for-help people
I think the hardest part to get to is that point of asking for help or reaching out to other people and being honest with yourself.
movies shop
I usually do get the tomboy parts in the movies, which is kind of like me, but not totally. I like to shop as much as Ashley, but she is a little more of a girlie-girl than me.
asking came challenged enjoyed given sort understand
I was never challenged when it came to acting as a youngster. I sort of just did whatever was given to me without asking questions. I didn't really understand why I enjoyed it or why I did it.
great
I still read scripts, and if something great comes along, that's great... but this is my day job. The Row is where I go every day.
drive explore grew horseback stores until
I grew up horseback riding. That was my passion. I didn't start shopping until about 16 or 17, when I could drive myself to stores and explore on my own.
bag bags bigger carry huge looks space throw woman
I feel like when I carry a bigger bag, it looks like it's a huge bag because I'm really tiny. But I do think it's important to have the space that you need, because we throw everything in our bags at all times. I think every woman does.
We've read scripts, and I think right now we are just focusing in on school.
business
We will probably always be in business together.
fit understood
When I was young, clothes were really just about what fit, because Ashley and I were so tiny. So I understood fit before I understood style.
physically roles
We did many of our own stunts. We had our hands full. In fact, the roles were physically demanding.
