Sometimes I am kind of the opposite of my character. But that's the thing about acting, you get to play people who are not like you at all.

ER was one of my favourites. I played a car accident victim who has leukemia. I got to wear a neck brace and nose tubes for the two days I worked.

I always talk about my characters like they're real people.

You have to stay true to your true friends and your family.

Acting is what I love to do. I wouldn't trade it for the world. I don't think of it as work. It's really fun for me.

I have traveled to a lot of places, and you look at another young person who lives under very different circumstances than you but has the same dreams or the same interests or might be better at what I do than what I do. But I was born in a different place, and she was born in a different place. Just for that alone, you're kind of inherently given opportunity. That's something that I'm very grateful for, but I'm also very aware of.

I learned to read at two. I was in a Montessori school and they teach you to read really, really young.
