I think something that I've learned from other actresses is to really take the time to get to know yourself, especially because I think that your sense of self is easy to lose when you're playing other people.

I genuinely love to be by myself, but at the same time, it's such a relief to know that I have another person's head who I can go into and whose life I can live. It's kind of an escape route, almost like therapy. It's refreshing to know that I can go back to a place where I don't have to be myself.

I think just all girls are my mentors. I feel like I've learned everything I know from just being around other women and learning from them.

I put a lot of pressure on myself early in my life, like, "You have to be perfect; you can't do anything." You basically can't show any emotion and speak up. And then I realized that I have to live my life for myself.

In my work, I'm passionate about trying different things and being okay if I mess up. Now I'm trying to bring that into my own life.

I started acting when I was 5, and it was always a part of my life. My life and acting weren't separate things; they were always one.

People used to always talk down to me, like, "Oh, you're so young," but now I recognize that my age is an advantage; there's a lot more I can do.
