When I was in, like, 'I Am Sam,' I was, like, 'I get money? Whatever.'
I have traveled to a lot of places, and you look at another young person who lives under very different circumstances than you but has the same dreams or the same interests or might be better at what I do than what I do. But I was born in a different place, and she was born in a different place. Just for that alone, you're kind of inherently given opportunity. That's something that I'm very grateful for, but I'm also very aware of.
The barn really smelled like a barn with all the hay.
I never worked with horses before, so that was a new challenge, and working with Kurt was just amazing. I couldn't wait.
I never skimp on TV. I watch an embarrassing amount of TV shows. I don't even know how I do it.
It's cool that people enjoy my work. That's fun for me that people, like going to my movies and enjoy all the hard work that everyone put into it. I think that's the biggest reward, to know that everyone enjoyed the movies with me.
Acting is what I love to do. I wouldn't trade it for the world. I don't think of it as work. It's really fun for me.
I think that when you’re in the public eye, you automatically become a role model, because people are reading about you and looking at pictures of stuff you’ve done. But, you know, no one’s perfect, everyone makes mistakes. I have made mistakes and I will make mistakes. I’m only human.
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.
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.
