It's never really fun to have to cry in a scene or anything like that.

Never let anyone try and make you into something that you're not. Remember what it is that you want, and always stay strong in that.

I'm from New York. I have a non, neutral accent. It can go any way you want.

I've always been a huge fan of the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' movies.

I like to have sleepovers.

I've been really lucky with the people that I've gotten to work with. I learn a lot from them, just by watching them.

I want to do wardrobe. I want to do hair. I want to do makeup. I want to do writing. I want to do directing. I want to do all of it. I like it. And I want to do producing.

Money gives me just one big thing that's really important, and that's the freedom of not having to worry about money.

I would want to be fully informed before advising the president.
