When it comes down to it, I’m just a girl who wears those five-finger weird toe shoes.
I started studying indigenous cultures and I was really inspired by their life styles and the way that they lived. Part of that was knowing how to survive in the wild and knowing how to heal themselves from the plants that grew around them.
I’m a pretty romantic person, I love little notes.
I’m not really fond of the trails left in the sky and a lot of chemicals that are being pumped through factories and even in the clothes we wear.
I feel like a turtleneck dress that’s long-sleeved and covers your entire body but is tight fitting is so much sexier than boobs spilling out, you know? So I guess I’m more into being classy sexy versus apparent sexy.
I think there is a point in every teenager’s life where they are forced to come into themselves.
If I’m passionate about something, I’ll do everything I can to be a part of it.
I’m always like ‘I’m too skinny, I can’t gain weight, even when I try.’ I’d like to try to not let that get to me.
Start small – if you drink soda, stop drinking soda. You don’t have to make every single change at once or overnight, you can make them slowly to adjust to figure out what works for your body, there is no formula and there is also no right or wrong.
Alcohol is a big part of high school. I went through my little phase. I don’t know one high schooler that doesn’t.
George Clooney sort of lost his ‘George Clooney-ness’ the first day I met him. He’s not George Clooney in my eyes – he’s George from Kentucky with an awesome, awesome heart.
There aren’t a lot of films about adolescents or quote-unquote coming-of-age films that are realistic nowadays.
I choose to surround myself with happy human beings. I went through the angsty period. I think every single person does. I think it’s a rite of passage to hate the world and feel like the victim.
For me, acting is about the art of it and it’s about being on a film set and doing your thing, painting a blank canvas.
For me, my rule in this industry is I’ve got to listen to my butterflies. So if I got butterflies, then those are the scripts I go after.
George Clooney is a super-human, he’s just such an amazing human being, he taught me how to be a better person and a better actor!
I live my life with a lot of integrity based on what I want for my life and who I am.
I’d like to be like a hummingbird. You see them every now and then. You don’t see them everywhere.
I think every teenager goes through their angst. People who are like, ‘No, I had a perfect adolescence,’ make me wonder how that is possible.
My only real insecurities in high school were having such long legs and thick hair – things I’m so very grateful for now.
