As a kid, I was told to talk as much as possible.

For years, I hated myself. I covered the mirrors in my house. I literally couldn't have a mirror in my room.

Well, I think I've had a fairly meandering career.

I knew I would never be cast as the pretty girl.

To be honest, I don't usually do very much research, especially if I'm working with a director who also wrote the screenplay. They've usually done a tonne of research. And they'll tell you about it from their perspective which is better than doing your own research.

All the roles are for boys. The girls' roles are either small or all the same. There's just nothing interesting.

It's so normal for a teenager to dress in black -- and be real unhappy and stay in your room and say sarcastic things. How could something so normal be considered morbid?
