As a kid, I loved being surrounded by mountains, creeks and animals, and volunteering with my mom on initiatives to help protect the environment. Being part of this contest is one important way I can...

I think it’s a gift to become a star, to become a celebrity.

Well, what is acting but the study of human behavior? And that’s so fascinating to me.

But I have to say, probably when I’m about 30 I’ll be pretty, not settled, but happy with what I’ve accomplished so far. I’m happy where I am now.

Well, I’m also like 23 and playing 16. So maybe when I’m 30 I’ll be playing characters in their early 20s. I don’t know.

I’m just kind of taking whatever life gives me and hoping that I make the right decision.

I want to take roles that challenge me and I want to like the script and obviously feel connected with the director because the director to me is so important.
