I started piano lessons when I was four; I was being classically trained at the Colburn School.

Once you get to that point when you can just be yourself and relax, I just think that you're so much happier in general.

I wanted to be a professional singer/actress, though I knew it would be hard.

When I was six years old my friend was auditioning for 'Annie,' and I decided I wanted to audition with her. My mom was worried I would fall flat on my face because I'd never opened my mouth to sing, so she sent me to vocal lessons. I did the audition and fell in love with the entire process of a show.

I've been acting since I was six years old, but not professionally.

If I see a spider in my house, I put it in a cup, and then I take it outside. I save it. What is wrong with me?

I think family is so important.
