I'm a huge fan of the series of books by Cassandra Clare, The Mortal Instruments. I'm a fan myself, so to be cast as the lead heroine is completely incredible.

I think it's important to relate to one another about issues that you're having, because the second you open up and someone else says, 'Oh, me too. I feel the same way,' then all of a sudden, you feel more at peace with yourself and you can feel more confident with who you are.

My older siblings and I all work in 'the industry'. So obviously we have hectic schedules, but we make it work.

I still think there is a huge emphasis on how women look, whether it's fitting a certain mold to play a certain type of character, or the idea that we might have insecurities based on the standards we see in the media.

To play someone I loved in my favourite fairytale as a kid is a total honour.

My dad knows how to tell a story. He'd make me laugh by doing all the different voices.

I've realized the quirky things that make you different are what make you beautiful.
