For a child actor, its a matter of listening, reacting, and being able to put yourself in a new place without being scared.

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.

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.

I think sleep's really important. I value it as much as waking up and having a full day.

No matter who the characters are, you can strip them down and find small universal truths.

I love talking about movies that mean something to me.

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