I've been a ballerina since I was two, but I've always wanted to be an actress.

I really enjoy what I'm doing. I think you have to have a good time and not look too far back or too far ahead.

My job is all about getting inside another person's mind and thoughts.

When you're acting you put so much of yourself into working. As much fun as it is, it's still hard work and it's still a challenge.

I truly find such a sense of peace and calm when I'm working, and it's an inner peace that I've never been ever to achieve, doing anything else. It's where I feel most myself. I can access my power and strength, as an artist, and I can't imagine not doing it. I love it!

Because I'm a pale person, I take care of my skin religiously.

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.
