Your imagination is your most important tool, as an actor, as cheesy as that sounds.

Violence has been a part of storytelling forever and there's obviously a reason for it. Fairy tales are really violent, the original ones. I think there's something cathartic about having kids live through their fears through a book or any kind of story.

My boyfriend and I don't get to live in the same city all the time, and the fact that I can text him or call him or even Skype with him is so wonderful.

If I only did TV show, I'd probably not be the happiest girl. I love the show, but I'm an actor and I want to work on different things. TV lasts for so much of the year that you're just aching to play a different part. And I love movies so much that I want to be a part of as many as I can.

I am really attracted to films. It's nice to do something new, all the time. That's why I like being an actor.

I developed a sense of self before moving to crazy Hollywood, which was really important.

I feel like I'll always feel that I have so much to learn and I don't feel uncomfortable in my skin.
