People are lonely in this world for lots of different reasons. Some people have something in their disposition. Maybe they were born too mean, or maybe they were born too tender. But most people are brought to where they are by circumstance, by calamity or a broken heart or something else happening in their lives that wasn't anything they planned on. People are lonely in this world for lots of different reasons. The one thing that I do know is, it doesn't matter what any one of them tell you -- nobody wants to be alone.
Well, we became a vegetarian. But that didn't last very long, because, um, I don't like vegetables. Or salad, nothing like that!
I have a weird vision of relationships because my parents have known each other since second grade, and they got married right out of college.
I love the feeling I get when I'm on a set; I love reading the scripts, playing the characters, getting to be someone else.
The hardest thing is at the end you have to say bye to all these people who you have worked with for so many months. It was really sad not to see them anymore. But you have the parties that you go to and you get to see them, like the premieres and the screenings.
When I go home, I play with my baby dolls and strollers and diaper bags, and play with my sisters.
I can only live my life in this way. I don't think I would be living it a different way if I wasn't acting.
People recognize me all the time. I think it's really nice. I don't mind it at all. It feels kind of surreal when people know who you are and I think that it's really cool.
I've been able to go so many places. I had the opportunity to go to Hong Kong when I was thirteen years old which is crazy. I lived there for three months. It was amazing. I couldn't ask for a more enriched life so far.
Sometimes I am kind of the opposite of my character. But that's the thing about acting, you get to play people who are not like you at all.
You have to be totally one hundred per cent committed to act. I do value everyone else's advice, but ultimately I have to listen to myself.
When you're acting you put so much of yourself into working. As much fun as it is, it's still hard work and it's still a challenge.
When I'm in front of it, it's different than anything else. It's a different feeling. Thoughts are just going through your head. You're not even really thinking about other things or what you are going to do next.
In the happy scenes there were really fun times. Sean would say really funny stuff because he likes to improv. I would want to laugh, but you are not allowed to do that during the take.
