You go up for hundreds, thousands of roles, and you get told no, no, no, so many times.

I think a lot of things can be misconstrued in a lot of ways. And I think if people open their minds more, and they try to look deeper into something than just something that is a very big, hot, fiery button to hide behind...I think if people looked into something bigger that I was trying to speak upon, they wouldn't be so easy to fire back silly, miscellaneous things.

My mum reads every script before I go for it.

I actually work at my craft, and I actually want to be the best in my category, and I want to be a true actress. And a lot of people just want fame, and there's a huge difference.

My mom has always said that if I get a big head, she'll take me out of this business as quickly as I got into it.

I have learned never to judge any of the characters that I portay. Sometimes that is difficult to do because as a human being we tend to make judgements when we find out information about people and situations. In order to bring a character to life, though, I find that I cannot judge her or I won't be true to her.

TV shows and stuff give people in the show business very bad names. I'm not going to name any shows, but a lot of shows.
