Those auditions - you sit down, and literally the whole time you're there, they scrutinize you, and you know that. But you can't take it personally.

I didn't plan on going to college, at least not a full-time schedule. I still have that plan. I may take some individual classes at some point as an indulgence.

At the premiere for 'Leave It to Beaver,' I was walking down the red carpet, and they were screaming my name, and I'm wondering, 'What do I do?' So I had to think, 'OK, calm down, one person at a time.' Everything is kind of rattling, but afterwards, my publicist said I did really good.

I cheated once on a spelling test. I didn't know how to spell period. I leaned over the desk and looked at someone else's paper. I was probably ten or something like that.

I went through this rebel period where I didn't want to dress up.

Work hard; be ethical.

I got to work with Jeffrey Wright, which is fantastic. I started out starstruck, but he's so cool, so it was all OK.

I can be a binger when it comes to information, but most of the time, I'm pretty good, and I try to focus on my own life and personal communication.
