I think there is something about L.A., fortunately: once you get one role people think, 'Oh well, someone employed her, so maybe we can.' I mean, that's my idea of it, anyway. 'She can put one foot in front of the other and say a line.'

I did dancing and singing when I was little, and then when I was 12 years old my friends were taking speech and drama at school. They were private lessons, and I started doing that. Over the years everyone else dropped out and I just kept going. I loved it.

I was always into performing and dancing as a kid and acting was a safe place to have all my feelings, which is good as a child.

I think working in the industry, I'd be pretty nervous to have a celebrity crush.

I first got into acting when I was about 12. I started doing speech and drama lessons. All my friends were doing it at the time and my dad encouraged it. He encouraged any extracurricular activity.

I usually have a drink before a carpet because I find them really nerve-racking. Usually a tequila. An upper!

All the photographers were trying to just get me off, which was hilarious. But it was very, very amusing.
