I was being groomed to be a tennis player for sure. My grandparents and parents realised I had a natural athletic ability and if I was forced to do it, I could probably do well. But all I wanted was to play pretend.

I'm home schooled, and I have a teacher that goes with me on all my movies.

My grandmother was German. She didn't teach any of her children German. She really wanted them to be American. And now, she's since passed away, I get so frustrated sometimes. I'm like, "Oh, Oma, why didn't you teach your kids German?" My dad would have spoken German to me from birth, and I would have spoken German.

With all of the characters I've played, I feel like I've tried to communicate through my eyes and face, as much or more than with words. That's something that I like to watch in films, and something that I like to bring to the characters that I play.

It's something that's always been there for me, that I have huge blue eyes - it's been something that people have always talked about.

I love who I am and I love my life, but if I could be someone else, I'd be Beyonce in two seconds.

My advice would be to go with the "love who you are, embrace yourself" vibe that's happening right now.
