I have six brothers and one sister. I grew up playing ice hockey, a total tomboy, and that’s what I thought I was going to do – be an ice hockey player.

I saw Paranormal Activity on Halloween with all my friends. It scared me, but it was so much fun.

When I was going into acting, my mom said, "You can't let that faze you. And if it does faze you, if you start getting upset if people say no, that's it - pull the plug."

When you have your passion, you never even think about other things. It's tunnel vision. You go until you get it.

There's just this stage in a guy's life where they need to be free and have fun and just be independent and enjoy their life.

When I was 12, I got a manager, but my mom was against it. It took a lot of convincing. But when I got a job at Manhattan Theatre Club, I think she saw how passionate I was about it and that I worked really hard - and now she's super supportive.
