It's fun to explore areas that are taboo that you're not allowed to in real life as an actor.

I think all actors have a sadomasochistic streak, because acting is kind of brutal, you know.

I never wanted to have to take a job because I didn't have any money.

I'd been taking singing lessons and I had taken dance, because I loved to dance, but I had never considered myself a professional at all.

Just standing around looking beautiful is so boring.

I would speak up if I see someone being rude to someone.

Acting's an odd profession for a young person; it's so extreme. You work, and the conditions are tough and the process is so immersive, and then it stops, and then there's nothing. So you have to find ways of making you feel productive when you're not actually producing anything. For a young person, that's really challenging.
