creative acting lost
I like acting; I like being lost in the creative process.
artist kind raised
I was raised to be some kind of artist.
fashion aunt agency
My aunt was a fashion model and I happened to go to her agency with her, one day, when I was five. A talent agent said, "You should come talk to us." I did a few things. I did an indie movie and commercials, and stuff.
school kids thinking
I think a lot of people were like, "Oh, you're 13, you're gonna rebel." But I was never in public school and I was never really forced to do much of anything, as a kid.
ignorance games self
The fact that I'd never really seen myself on screen allowed for a blissful ignorance. It didn't feel like a movie. I didn't have that self-consciousness. It was a game that I was playing.
film finished
I never watched a frame of the film until it was finished.
stars children hopefully
I wasn't a child star, so hopefully I can keep my head on straight.
things-in-life drawing creating
The only thing in life that really gives me any peace is just being lost in the process of creating something, whether it's the film or painting and drawing. Whatever that is, it is what I want to do.
definitely rebel society taught trust
I didn't have my parents to rebel against, but I had society, and that definitely is what they taught me. Just: Trust nothing.
art draw interested
I'm interested in all kinds of art. I draw and paint and don't know how to play the banjo, but I do play the banjo.
people
It's beautiful to have people look me in the eyes and actually treat me like a human.
against children confined ingrained repressed
I feel like that's so ingrained in so many children that you are so confined and repressed growing up that, anything you do, you have to rebel against it at some point.
crave everyday feeling filled growing life people struggled valid
I've struggled so much, growing up, with just feeling that my life is valid because it's not filled with these hyper-dramatic moments, and I think a lot of people of my generation feel that way. We're so inundated with hyper-drama that people crave everyday life.
certain convoluted dramatic emotion focus general human humanity mean overly presented stories supposedly
I don't want to make any general statements, but I feel like so many stories that are presented as being about humanity and human emotion are just so convoluted and overly dramatic and focus on these certain little things that are supposedly meaningful, but just don't really mean anything.
