I hate sitting around and talking about the emotional background of a character. She is a storybook character, she's not real. That means you have so much more freedom, in that you don't have to make anything she does believable or make people believe her choices in the story.
Nobody's kissing my ass, unfortunately. I could use a little. But then again, my personality isn't conducive to butt-kissing.
Remember who you are. It's really okay to be who you are.
Working in television it's really great to be able to stick with a character for a long period of time. It's not like you have one shot, and that's it. You have more time, more room, an ability to reflect on your performance and the character and how much has really been shown, and what you'd like to see. It's nice. You have more breathing room.
I think my anorexia was to do with being a teenager, not being in films.
I don't know who Peter Lorre is. Pathetic right? It shows you how completely gross and uncultured my generation is.
You have to excuse me because I AM a teenager, so I'm allowed to sound illiterate and make stupid comments like 'I'm not into hard-core feminism.'
I guess I'm a workaholic!
I come from one of these hideous backgrounds where being sincere is like - ugh, you might as well kill yourself.
Unless it's a specific accent, or something about physicality you have to change, I am generally not such a conscious actor.
I've been looking to do TV for a while. I've always done guest starring stuff. I've done a couple of multi-episode arcs, and I've always loved the experience.
It's fun to be sarcastic, but now I'm able to express myself in a way that's much more sincere.
I'm incredibly naive.
As a teenager, my favourite rejection was, 'She looks too healthy,' which of course translates as, 'She needs to lose weight.'
