- If you’re creating your character, you can have full ownership of the emotional range they go through. You can make bolder choices.
- My skin’s rather difficult to fix, and I’m incredibly sensitive.
- The pressure to look good is intense. It is hard to be immune to that and the self-consciousness that comes with it.

- I’ve been every hair color under the sun for different projects.

- I’ve always been really terrible with horror films. I scare really easily and can’t stand all the violence and gore.

- I’ve been working for, like, 10 years now, which is a very strange thing to say when you’re 23.
- It was strange, especially because all of the projects I did when I was young, I was always the youngest on set or the only child, so I spent my formative years hanging out with 24-year-olds when I was 13.
- I don’t think I’ve done anything quite like ‘Gypsy’ before. Especially the honest way that it is written.
- Because I started at such a young age, I went in with a ‘take what comes, do what I’m told’ approach.
- I want to be an actress when I grow up. Actually, I don’t want to wait until I’m grown up. I want to be a child actress. I want to be an actress before I’m 13.
- Oh, my God, I would be the most uncool band member, ever.
