When you're growing up, the most important thing is to try to not change yourself too much. Be you, because everyone else is taken. ”

I didn't really have idols growing up, but some of my friends were huge fangirls. ”

Growing up and working at the same time is difficult. ”

What I love about this job is it's literally a different day every single day, isn't it? One day you're a nurse, the next day you're in a band - you can just make it up. I'm just a big kid, and that's really what this job is - just playing dress-up every day. ”

There's a joke in my family that I'm going to make a career out of playing other people's younger selves. ”

I want to be a part of a movie that changes people's conceptual framework, and suddenly you see things in a different way. ”

I'm blessed with being quite secure - not necessarily about my looks, but if someone says, 'I don't like what you're wearing,' I am never going to go and cry about it. I think that does come with age, though. ”

I did a bit of baby modeling. I loved it. ”

I like to prove people wrong. ”

I've acted for as long as I can remember, really. ”
