I've been playing since I was 5, but I wouldn't say that I'm serious about the piano.
Kiernan ShipkaI do listen to some music, but I don't technically have one band I'm absolutely hooked on.
Kiernan ShipkaOne of my favorite apps is VSCO, which is for editing photos. I think they have great filters. And then I read the New York Times.
Kiernan ShipkaI love ballet. Ballet is its own being. It has its own vocabulary. I feel as if I am in a different world when I am in the ballet studio.
Kiernan ShipkaI hate a messy closet. I totally freak out when my closet is messy and I can't find anything.
Kiernan ShipkaI certainly know quite a few kid actors, but I'm not really friends with them. They're all very nice people, but I just don't run in the same circles.
Kiernan ShipkaThe first scene I ever appeared in, it was the first scene I ever shot [during my] first day on set. I walk up to my mom with a plastic bag over my head and she says that her clothes better not be on the floor, not that a plastic bag is not a safety hazard or anything. I think it's a really cute scene and also just a very vivid memory.
Kiernan ShipkaWell I was a Gerber baby, so probably that was my first money. But in cash, I used to do lemonade stands a lot.
Kiernan ShipkaGrowing up on Mad Men with so many incredible actors and then going on to other things with amazing people, I never had any formal acting training, but they are all acting schools, basically. Just watching and learning from the best is insane. It's like having an internship and watching all these amazing people doing their work. You just soak it up like a sponge, hopefully.
