I don't want to sound like too much of a drama queen! But I'm not going to tell you, 'Oh, it's just so much fun.' It's work [working on film].
I'm having too good of a time.
Black eyeliner says 'You've been through stuff, you know things'.
I'm the character actor in Hollywood movies, the girl who has to be annoying so the guy can go to the other girl.
An actor's career relies on a lot of luck. Being in the right place at the right time.
I'm trying to work in studio movies, but they won't hire me.
I don't Twitter, although sometimes I think that I should.
I usually play character parts in Hollywood films.
I don't have a publisher yet, so I'm not in the process of that next stage and I don't know what that's going to look like. So I feel like I finished stage one [with my book].
My grandmother is this amazingly theatrical woman. She acted like a movie star, as far as looks and attitude, kind of like Susan Hayward.

Time is weird in your twenties. It's intense, and you feel like it's running out. But you'll get to thirty and see you are still here on the planet.
