I hate the stereotype of the pitfalls of the child actor. There are so many amazing examples - Natalie Portman, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Jodie Foster, Drew Barrymore - of people who have made it through.
Well, I am obsessive about my work. I throw myself in all the way.
I love documentaries. It's actually my favorite medium of film.
I never had a father figure so I never missed it.
I think documentary filmmaking is a braver way to make films because it's real, and you're really there.
When you have a child, you are just immediately changed forever. You put yourself second. Your child comes first, and everything that you do is with them in mind.
I think everyone still thinks I'm 13.
I wanted to be a journalist for a long time.
I'll tell you what I hate - bands like My Chemical Romance.
I'm still pretty terrified of heights.
I'm awkward around girls.
I'm no good at the one-liner thing. It's just not me.
I'm very good at meeting people, very outgoing.
It must be hard to be a female in a David Mackenzie movie. I feel like women in his films are portrayed a certain way - like broken people.
