What I loved about myself as a teenager is that I didn't know any better to be afraid or to be insecure.

Let's talk about Connie Britton, who I love. I don't know of a person who doesn't love her, I don't know a man or woman who doesn't have a crush on her, she's the most fabulous person in the entire world, and she's such an incredible actress, and so sweet, and I love her.

I love how, when you're a teenager, you're really opinionated, you're really right, you can't be wrong, and you don't know any better.

The magic of movie-making is that you get to fulfill your own dreams.

I didn't read children's books when I was a child. The only books in our house were ration books.

I did two commercials, one for Porsche, but I was definitely not the type of child one would cast in a commercial or any TV that you'd typically go out for as a young kid. I wasn't the type of kid who would be in stuff that kids watch. I wasn't cutesy.
