And I love writing; I've been writing ever since I was seven.

In L.A., if you're an actor, your personal and professional lives are too intertwined.

People soften by the forced reflection that comes with loss.

There's so much more (to say) about being young and being a woman, but I feel like not a lot of those stories are being told, so you have to grab onto what ever small truths you can find and present it in the most honest way you can.

We are all searching for some form of family or foundation - for a place we can feel safe and secure.

If you put the right things into the universe, the right things will come to you.

You never know how things are going to fit. So, you don't count your eggs until they hatch. You can't pre-project that. I mean, this was literally like a childhood fantasy of mine, to be able to work in action. You know, growing up on Disney films like Pocahontas and wanting to enter into that, or Aladdin and how he's fighting - being your own hero, being your own heroine is like every one's dream.
