When I'm acting, I have zero control, and it's the scariest thing anyone can do in that field because, you know, your face is always the one that's out there in front of the camera, and any number of things can happen to you once you've done your work. It can be edited badly, it can be distributed badly, or it can not be distributed at all. And I've certainly experienced that; every actor has.

Because the role-model pressure becomes so insane, the personal and private takes a backseat to whatever it takes to maintain that fame and to maintain that lifestyle, and before you know it you're not a human being anymore.

I've been kind of submerged in my own little geographic location for a really long time in Venice Beach

My advice is to make acting your second career choice

My father comes from a generation of film that actors my age don't even know about, which is really sad.

If you believe that God put you here to act, then you have to be different. Go into casting offices, with something other girls don't have

IF YOU'RE DOING SOMETHING THAT TERRIFIES YOU, MOST LIKELY YOU'RE DOING THE RIGHT THING.
