I honestly don't even know how I got into acting. It happened so quickly because my mom and sister used to do commercials, and apparently when I was little I would unbuckle myself from the stroller and crash their auditions.

Things will come to you when the time is right and I say just go for it. If you love what you want to do, just keep on going.

I feel like a big thing is faith - to never lose my faith and to always stay true to who I am and to never be afraid to show who I am. I think the biggest thing is: Don't ever hide anything.

I was trying to get into the business from a young age, but I don't think I really realized how much I loved it until I booked my first movie and found myself in New Zealand for six months filming Bridge to Terabithia.

Never give up. Just follow your dreams because this business can be so hard sometimes. It doesn't happen overnight where you get an audition or even a callback and get the role. It takes time.

You try to become the character that you're working with. So for me, I try to block out the cameras and try to trick my mind that this is actually happening.
