Dance has such an intensity to it. You become, in a way, an intense person.

I always collect a bunch of images for every film that I do, that reminds me of an essence of the character, or the time that they live in, or what they're experiencing.

Everybody is completely different. I think there is no formula for filmmaking. Everybody finds their own way of doing things.

Traveling to Russia and Germany and being able to see the world at a young age was really cool for me, and I really liked that.

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.

Ballet has really helped me in every acting role. You have to be very disciplined, you have to be able to control your nerves and perform under pressure, and all those things you have to use in acting when you're on film or going for an audition.

I read a lot of books. So, usually when I go home I try to re-charge my batteries and absorb new stories to become inspired again.
