The reason I keep acting is that it fuels some kind of passion in me, but the day that those butterflies stop, is the day that I'm gonna quit because I could care less about the magazines or being famous or the money or the awards.

Everything is out of your control, and you can only be truthful about how you feel.

As a teenager, my struggle was how do I balance being empathetic and compassionate towards my peers, while also living my life for myself and not basing my decisions on those around me, and really living a life where I receive my happiness from my own experiences rather than from people pleasing.

When it comes down to it, I'm just a girl who wears those five-finger weird toe shoes.

For me, acting is about the art of it and it's about being on a film set and doing your thing, painting a blank canvas.

I've been acting since I was young because I wanted to, not because my parents wanted me to. My dad is a principal and mom is a middle school counselor, so acting was like, "Eh, whatever. As long as you get good grades." It's really fun, and nothing more.

You have only 30 seconds with a new person. I will give you a hug so you know I’m real, and then you’re real too.
