I think 'Paranorman' was a great adventure.

In Australia, I can just say to my mom, 'I'm going down the street.' And I can walk around pretty much all the places I know.

In L.A., I live right across from Universal Studios.

Vampires used to be like Dracula, and now they're young teenage kids, so yeah, I like that.

I don't come from a wealthy family, so for me to have to struggle as long as I have in New York and Los Angeles and finally know that I have an income coming in for the next 10 episodes was a major, major life-altering moment.

For most of my childhood, I grew up in the countryside of England, where it was very suburban - there weren't a lot of people who were multicultural like my family. It was a place where the blonde and brunette girls in school were considered gorgeous. And because of that, I remember feeling like I wasn't good enough.

Paid leave is a not just a mother and child issue, it's a societal issue we have.

My family, especially my mother is my biggest strength. She has helped me through so much in life.
