I started kite boarding when I was 13. My dad was a kite boarder, and I begged him to teach me until he finally agreed. He made me wait because it can be dangerous.
I'm working on a movie called 'Labor Day' with Kate Winslet while still balancing kite boarding. Being an actress and an athlete is a challenge, but I'm excited to see what happens.
I just want to go for it. In every aspect of my life and careers, I just want to give it all I have.
I grew up in the indie world and that's what I'm used to, but there's something really incredible about having money behind a film and having the time to do as many takes as you want.
I want to work hard, and when good roles come along I don't want to pass them up.
When I was living in the Dominican Republic, the local kids became a part of my family.
