My mom didn't ever think I would take to acting because I was a very shy, very reserved kind of child. But obviously, something changed!

I have a really great family, and when Im not filming, I go home and walk the dogs, take out the garbage, clean my room, all that stuff. My family and my friends keep me in line, and make sure I dont get crazy.

It's never really fun to have to cry in a scene, or anything like that. I just try to put myself in the characters position, and that helps. It's never really fun, but at the same time, if you're having a really bad day, it's a great way to get out all of your frustration by doing a really angry or sad scene. That's always a good release.

I don't really like to talk about other people. I think people who have things going on in their lives, I think they have enough to deal with, they don't need, you know, Abigail Breslin weighing in on their lives.

I try to make myself do things for other people when I'm feeling down. Like, you can call your local hospital and help out in the pediatric unit.

I like to have sleepovers.

I never want to play the same character twice. I like to do different roles. I have fun with that.
