Life can be very funny and very tragic. Everyone has stuff that they've been through that makes up whatever fire it is that they have in their gut, but nobody goes around wearing that as their outmost exterior, all the time.

Being yourself is one of the hardest thing because it's scary you always wonder whether you'll be accepted for who you really are.

I've never had my brows done - I tweeze them myself. I used to watch my mom pluck her brows, that's how I learned.

I feel like I've come out of this grown up, maybe because I live through the character vicariously and she grows up so much during the course of this story.

I love music. I'd love to go on Broadway and do a musical there. I just like to kind of go with whatever's inspiring at the moment, and kind of follow that as far as I can.

Guys usually like a very natural look. I think it's bad idea to wear a strong lip on a first date - or for the first few dates. I'm always too nervous he'll kiss it off - if I'm lucky enough to get a kiss! I also think soft, sexy hair is important.

I love the silhouettes of the '50s that were feminine and womanly without being too revealing. I've always gravitated towards that kind of sense of style and fashion.
