Sometimes you never fully understand why you are attracted to a project until you get deeper into it.

I remembered moving from Sacramento to Los Angeles with my mum when I was seven and my sister was three or four.

Everything is changing all the time, and I'm not going to stress out and spend my entire time chasing something that ultimately doesn't exist.

I'm kind of a morbid person. I'm very optimistic, but I also feel like I'm going to die at any moment. I feel very much aware of my mortality. I'm here, and then I'm not.

I can be whoever I want. I can feel however I want.

I don't take roles that are 'just another role.' I'm interested in learning more about myself and about humanity. So it should change you by the time it's done.

Maybe you're not perfect, but you're willing to actually look at yourself and take some kind of accountability. That's a change. It might not mean that you can turn everything around, but I think there's something incredibly hopeful about that.

It's really hard to see yourself and to recognize that you are a human being like everybody else. You just think everybody's judging you.

It's very scary to allow the world to see you.

I have a sister and her name is Mimsy, like from 'Alice in Wonderland,' so we've got some strange names in our family.

I wasn't interested in going to the school dances. I wasn't interested in going to the football games. What I wanted was to be in my room painting my walls and doing weird stuff. That's what I wanted and I got to do what I wanted, so that, to me, is my high school experience.

I had a tough time fitting in, as I guess most kids do. I felt like school was kind of a grand opportunity to figure yourself out and to figure out what you wanted.

I know how to have a conversation, but I've never done improv. I've never taken improv classes.

I think more things are becoming socially acceptable. I think that just by having more media, whether that's TV or Internet, we're able to see more things.

Whenever you want something that you're not going to get, suddenly the whiney 3-year-old comes out in you.

Sometimes I laugh with my parents, and sometimes I yell at them, and both are therapeutic.

I was the type of person that would show a PowerPoint presentation about why I should do something versus crying and screaming over it.

I was home-schooled, was always very close with my mom and was very straight-laced and square. I was never the rebellious one, and I never threw hissy fits.

I didn't have a regular school experience and wanted a more abstract way of learning. I started exploring in lots of different creative ways. It gave me the opportunity to travel and play music, so it was good for me.

Singing is an incredible expression and something that is important to me, but where I feel comfortable with how much I reveal about myself is acting. I enjoy the characters, the costumes, the wigs and just being a chameleon.

I didn't go to prom - I was homeschooled.

I'm so used to swimming with the piranhas. And they're really not that bad.

I was 3 when I told my mom that I knew what my dharma was and that I wanted to be an actor.

For me, the dumbest rule is that you can't chew gum in school.
