I love all kinds of movies. I love a really good comedy and not the cheesy ones. My parents hate this, but I love horror films. Those are my favorite, and of course, dramatic roles. I'm really drawn to those as well. All different genres.

I always want the audience to identify with my character in some way. I mean, sometimes you'll get characters that aren't very identifiable. Sometimes you can't relate to your character at all. I think it's important to keep the audience interested. But the best advice that I've gotten is to live in the moment.

The first person I ever really got starstruck over was Nicole Kidman, because I looked up to her. When I was younger, I wouldn't get parts because of how tall I was. I had the body of a 15-year-old but the face of a 12-year-old. I always looked at Nicole Kidman and thought, 'Oh well, she works.'

Some people say that they read the first 20 pages, and then decide if they want to do the film or not. But, I have to read the entire thing 'cause anything can change in a script.

I don’t think I’d ever want to direct. I don’t think I have as much discipline to direct as I would like to have, and I don’t want my hair color to not go grey during that process.

Acting is still fun. It’s still not even a career for me. I think the second it becomes a career is when I should stop.

I always saw my peers finding some cool passion, but every time I tried one of those things, it never clicked. I would leave school and go to my theater class, and that’s when I’d actually sit down and listen.

I think it’s important to keep the audience interested. But the best advice that I’ve gotten is to live in the moment. Sometimes you can get too into your head when you’re in a scene.

When I was younger, I didn’t know who a lot of those people were because I couldn’t watch any of their movies. I actually get way more starstruck now. I think starstruck is the wrong word – I get overly enthusiastic about who I work with.

I don’t necessarily look for what I respond to in a script. I look for things that scare me, and take that as an indication that I should probably do it. I don’t want to be bored. I look for challenges. I look for a variety of different things because it’s so easy to go the cliche route.
