Lauren Ashley Carter

I have to be vulnerable to allow myself to give the best performance I ,and that doesn't stop in between takes, and it doesn't stop when I am finished for the night.

I did attend a convention with the production company behind 'The Woman' and 'Jug Face,' and I loved it and thought, 'I have to come back, as they are so much fun!' But those tickets are really expensive, and you're buying merchandise, and you want autographed pictures with people, so it's kind of like Disney World.

I try to keep myself busy creatively; it's for my own sanity after auditioning in the city for bad television shows and bad scripts and not being a name and having the clout to get my tapes passed on further.

For horror movies, it's great because I know exactly what I am doing and what should be done. But for a cop drama, I can't calm my face down, and so it's really nice to be able to be in this genre where nothing is too much, and no one yells at me for having big eyes.

Auditioning is a lot of fun for me.

Being on a low-budget film is difficult enough, and you may as well be working on something that you really believe in and you really love, and for me, that's to play different characters, to play different roles, and challenge myself.

It's kind of wild for me any time anybody says, 'I love this movie with Lauren Ashley Carter. I'm going to watch all her other movies,' because that's exactly the way I feel as a fan of other actors.

I love film very much. It's very special to me, and seeing how it all turns out is always just a magical moment for me.

With the performances, I have been very fortunate to pick things and to find scripts that I really love. I always try to do something that I haven't done before.

Whenever I write, I write very dialogue-heavy things because I love to force my characters to interact with one another.

I'll continue doing horror until the day I die. I love it; it's so much fun.

In real life, I'm a large character, and I need the space and platform to be large.
