I never expected that this would be my life.

Acting was my classroom in many ways and I always believed and I still do that acting is not just about pretending to be someone else, it's also about discovering yourself and reaching deeper inside yourself.

The point is to stumble upon things in your life, and not plan them out.

Both my parents work in film. They're crew. I love movies, and I just wanted to be involved. I got really lucky. I auditioned for a while and then started making films.

I am thrilled. I love movies. I don't have those nagging, regretful feelings about either of them, it is a miracle.

Even while starting out I took things very seriously; I wasn't the sort of kid that would do a doll commercial or do a series for Nickelodeon. They asked me to do silly things, and I wasn't a silly kid.

But, I'm kind of a control freak. I get really freaked out if I don't know what's going on and what's going to happen.
