A lot of people my age who are working right now have never acted; they get a show and suddenly they're making millions. It's always those people who get it fast who have the most trouble staying grounded and being themselves.

I've been an REM fan since I was a little girl. I would jump around to 'Stand' in the mirror.

So many teen films are overproduced and people are going to burnout on the subject.

When I'm an old lady, I'm going to have my pick of the young men. They'll be like, 'She's Miss Mary Jane!' The young boys will think I'm a hot old lady.

Like, a lot of people I know are wanting to get back to the Earth in some way and not raise their kids in this world of Apps and Internet all the time. I grew up on a river in New Jersey and I was in fantasy land. I could do anything.

My mother told me that when I was born a wave of feeling came over her. She just knew that I was destined to be an actress.

I'm not someone who is scared of doing things out of the box.
