I think everyone feels lost at times during their high school years.

I think in real life most of us don't know how to communicate our deepest feelings very well.

I think the hardest thing about the part is the responsibility that you feel playing something that is so real and resonant in our times. There are people coming home right now with those stories, and I'm just an actress pretending to be that person. You hope that you can shed some light on somebody's predicament.

You know, the hard thing about audiences not liking what a character does is that they sometimes take it out on the actor personally. That's something that you know when you become an actor or actress, but it's always hard to deal with when it actually happens.

I just got back from Switzerland, which I've never been to. I went to Switzerland and Amsterdam.

One thing I like about trying to write is that I can possibly write myself a role. Otherwise, you're at the mercy of whatever roles are out there that people are willing to give to you.

There are not that many jobs as an actor where you don't get to know what your character will be doing from episode to episode.
