When you're 12, a 12-year-old girl is so out of your league, because they have no interest in you. You're like 10 years younger. You're 2 to them.

When you're 18, you escape if you want to. Sixteen, you're still really depending on the people around you. You can't drive, and you can't support yourself. You can't legally be responsible for yourself.

I kind of end up getting caught up in whatever the rhythm of the movie is and how open the director is to changing things in the moment or finding it in rehearsal.

Most of the 16-year-olds I know are snotty brats that I wish I didn't know.

If you're working with a director you trust, you can turn that part of you off that wants to direct other actors in a certain way.

I like to write. I like to do that when I'm not working so I don't go totally crazy, and so I feel like I'm still doing something constructive.
