It's hard to do things like auditions, because you don't want to put weeks of work into just an audition.
One thing about New York is you can understand how you're perceived really easily if you just get on the train, by the way people look at you. But there's still an anonymity in it.
I find it really weird that sexuality is still so taboo in films and violence isn't. It really bewilders me.
Even the creative things feel mathematic, almost.
I really do like working very closely with a director and developing characters.
As I've started school I have a student-feeling wardrobe and then because I travel a lot, things feel very different for different places and days.
I like records. My favorite is Simon and Garfunkel.
I take a few pictures a week, but the best part is waiting for my film to be developed. The suspense is exciting, and the reward is great.
When I moved to New York, I feel like a lot of things widened within my perspective and as I spend some time here - as everyone does when they're that age or a young person - [you] figure out your own ideals or figure out the way you fit into society a little bit more than you did before.
I like to make pies. Thats kind of my new obsession - peach, blueberry, apple, strawberry. I make a really good pumpkin pie with real pumpkin.
On an average day, I have two things to read in my purse: a book and a play.
I think it's cool to get to know designers. There is some anxiety, maybe, that after you've met a designer, you want to be loyal to them and wear their clothes. And sometimes it's just not my style. But you have to be honest, and I don't really want to lie.
I'm getting more into fashion. I'm surprised that I'm getting into it because I was always wearing goofy stuff in high school.
I'm not good at Disney acting. I'm really not. I never was on that audition list, which I don't mind. I don't know. I look back, and I'm kind of wiping my forehead at the thought of, 'What if I had gone that route?'
