I definitely understand not entirely fitting in. I think everyone has their own version of feeling out of place and I think one of the great things we have the ability to do is to know it's all right. It's OK to have that awkward phase.

Everyone has opportunities and different doors that are opened to them in different ways. In the end, if you're talented you'll get work, if you're not, you won't, so it doesn't really matter who you know.

Education is very important to my parents and to me.

Love doesn't care who your parents are.

My parents always knew that I wanted to act, so it didn't really come as a big surprise. The only thing they told me was that I had to wait until I was 18 so I could get my education out of the way first.

Just in general, no matter what you're doing, be true to yourself. Never let anyone else dictate how you live your life.

I would never want the responsibility of being the prettiest girl on screen; it's too much.
