I always wanted to perform in some capacity since I was a kid - I was a ballerina, then a singer before acting.

I have a lot of different traits to my personality, depending on who I'm around, and what the dynamic in the situation is.

I always felt that my talent would trump everything.

I think when I was 12, when, like, 'Titanic' and 'Romeo + Juliet' came out, my friends and I made our own Leonardo DiCaprio fan club. I definitely had a thing for him.

Normally as an actress you're constantly worried that people think you don't look good enough. It's just like an unnecessary stress that's just frustrating.

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 think a lot of fans immediately go, 'ugggh' when they hear that someone is doing a prequel or a remake, they sort of assume the worst sometimes.
