My first movie was a movie that had a bunch of people dying in it - the typical popcorn movie. That's where I got my start.

Anytime I'm given scripts where I'm sort of the fantasy girl, it's hard for me because that's not real and I don't think it's a great thing to put out there consistently.

But as an actor you do want to challenge yourself and step outside what you have done in the past and that what I like to do, I like to jump around and try different things and stretch myself.

It's always been a lot of fun for me, just to be in films that people see and they connect to, big or small. The big ones tend to reach a wider audience, so it's exciting to feel like you've got fans in countries, all over the world, who are watching what you're doing. That's really great!

You have to believe that it is what you want to do with your life and you have to be dedicated to it.

I've been performing since I came out of the womb. I've been dancing and singing since I was a toddler. Acting seemed like a natural progression from that.

I grew up in a big movie house, we watched movies all the time, so I had an awareness at a very young age that that was a job that you could have.
