I found my way into the indie world a bit late in my career, but it was something that I was really passionate about doing.

It was my life, playing Juliet. From that moment on I was convinced I was going to be an actress. That was all I really wanted to do.

I was kind of embarrassed by some of the films I had done. I was like, "Oh, they're going to think I don't have street cred."

In ballet, I felt that no matter how good I was, if I didn't have the right body type or if I didn't fit a certain mold there was nothing I could do.

You're literally sized up with measuring tape as a 13- or 14-year-old girl. I wanted to opt out of that experience.

I guess I've just gotten to the point where I don't want to be bored by the characters that I play, and I don't want to feel like I'm having to make something more interesting or I'm having to force something that's not really there on the page.

I can remember when Pulp Fiction came out. I was, like, 10 years old. But I remember the impact that it had.
