Dancers are kept in a perpetual state of pre-puberty, and for young girls in particular, that type of pressure breeds insecurities.

Doing an accent removes you from yourself and reminds you, every instant, that you're playing a part.

Any time you get a role that's a young person, that resembles what it's like to be a teenager, I always kind of jump at it.

I really like trying to find the roles that are actually really meaningful to me.

The independent films are really where I kind of come from and where I feel comfortable. It's never been about the blockbusters and making a huge tonne of money. It's always been about wanting to do projects about the things that I think are important to be out there.

I love doing accents because it takes you one step away from yourself and allows you to embody someone else's character.

I was a bit of a loner as a teenager. I never went to a single social event, because they terrified me.
