I take a few pictures a week, but the best part is waiting for my film to be developed. The suspense is exciting, and the reward is great.

I really do like working very closely with a director and developing characters.

As I've started school I have a student-feeling wardrobe and then because I travel a lot, things feel very different for different places and days.

When I moved to New York, I feel like a lot of things widened within my perspective and as I spend some time here - as everyone does when they're that age or a young person - [you] figure out your own ideals or figure out the way you fit into society a little bit more than you did before.

I think that's okay and that is part of growing up and that is good, to learn that the world isn't always your oyster or isn't everybody's oyster.

One thing about New York is you can understand how you're perceived really easily if you just get on the train, by the way people look at you. But there's still an anonymity in it.

I did some theatre. I had some smaller roles in a couple TV shows and films. I used to think I did a lot of acting, but my 'career' started when I started Homeland.
