statement strike
Strike the right balance between your outfit and makeup. Make a statement with one, not both.
meditate since surprising
I'm very spiritual. I meditate every day. I don't know if that's surprising or not, but I've been doing that since I was 16 every day, so that's like kind of my thing. I'm really a hippie-chick at heart.
direct scenes
I want to direct one day. I want to write my own thing and really be behind the scenes because you have more creative control.
nice play people
It would be nice to not have to prove myself, and for people to know that I'm good and can play a role. Whatever role that is that lets people know that I can play the next role is what I want to do.
feelings auditions achieve
When you do well at an audition, it is the highest high you can achieve because you just beat yourself. You became whatever it was, for a minute. It's a great feeling, when that happens.
falling-in-love character ideas
Certain roles, I just won't invest in. I'll go in and audition, but I might not spend five hours trying to figure out what the character is really about or go so deep into it. I might just learn the lines and go in and try my best because I know it's not safe for me to love the character or to fall in love with the idea of the role.
fighting play people
I would love to play a role that is a lead role that people appreciate and a lot of people get to see. I just don't want to have to fight for every role anymore.
drama comedy realistic
All the genres are so blended nowadays. There are lots of comedies out there that are more realistic than dramas, and some dramas out there that are so broad and wacky that they don't even pass for a broad, wacky comedy.
girlfriend real hair
We're not just somebody's girlfriend who smiles all the time and bakes cookies and always has lingerie ready and their hair done. That's not real. The roles that I play are about bringing as much reality into it as possible.
two luxury three
I'm just auditioning. I've only gotten directly offered two or three movies, ever. I don't have the luxury of being able to say no a lot, and I don't really have the luxury of just getting to pick and choose certain things.
fighting way auditions
I have to just go in and audition, like everyone else, and fight my way to the top.
my-best-friend auditions would-be
My sisters are my best friends and my most staunch supporters. They're always there to help me through every audition, through interviews and through everything. They are the best things in my life, and I would be completely lost without them.
