Everyone in my grade is turning 13, so there are bunches of bar and bat mitzvahs. They're very dressy. It's fun picking out outfits. One girl, for her bat mitzvah, wore a huge red ball gown!

I bite my nails so bad. They're awful! My nails are so ugly. I need to stop biting them.

Paris is my favorite place in the world. I've never been there, at all... But I wanna live there, even though I've never been.

I feel like with every character, you try to put yourself in that person's position and just completely use your imagination. That's what I do, at least. Everything is just pretend.

I can't really remember my life without movies... [Growing up in Hollywood] is no different really. I make movies the same way other kids play tennis or go to piano lessons. I'm trying to get better at what I want to do, just like other kids are trying to get better at what they want to do.

I like Jodie Foster and then Meryl Streep. They're just, like, the greatest ever.

I think as an artist that's the best thing you can have - a personal stamp on something.
