I definitely live for the small moments and the big moments.
I only shampoo [my hair] once a month.
Alcohol is a big part of high school. I went through my little phase. I don't know one high schooler that doesn't.
For me, acting is about the art of it and it's about being on a film set and doing your thing, painting a blank canvas.
For me, my rule in this industry is I've got to listen to my butterflies. So if I got butterflies, then those are the scripts I go after.
George Clooney is a super-human, he's just such an amazing human being, he taught me how to be a better person and a better actor!
I think every teenager goes through their angst. People who are like, 'No, I had a perfect adolescence,' make me wonder how that is possible.
I think there is a point in every teenager's life where they are forced to come into themselves.
I'd like to be like a hummingbird. You see them every now and then. You don't see them everywhere.
I always find it fun to read a script and then find the messages in the script because I believe every story has them.
My whole life I've been so self-conscious about being skinny. And just recently I don't care anymore. All insecurities are projected because of what you think others are saying about you, but they don't really matter at all. My only real insecurities in high school were having such long legs and thick hair-things I'm so very grateful for now.

Every single journey that I've embarked on, I've learned something new.
I think every script has meaningful messages no matter what it is, because inherently life is full of meaning and every single day we lean a lesson.
