I want to be inspired by the characters that I play and excited by the projects that I do.

I don't think people understand when you say you are making a micro-budget film that you are getting paid no money.

I was that overachieving, annoying kid who was always trying to win some contest or win the role. I look back on it now and I'm like, "Chill, man." Calm down.

To those of you looking at photos I took with my husband years ago in the privacy of our home, hope you feel great about yourselves.

I do want to direct, eventually. I don't know if it will be a short film or a music video or a feature, but I know that I want to at least try it and see.

I don't have phobias. I'm pretty laid back. Nothing really bothers me. I can handle things pretty well.

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