I Only Write About Stuff I Know.

I Was Listening To A Lot Of Norwegian Black Metal And Death Metal. There's A Great History To Norwegian Black Metal. That Music Is Very Dark And Violent, But It's Also Beautiful.

I Know That I'm An Actor And I Guess I Could Kind Of Put On An Act, But It Takes So Much More Time To Be Someone You Are Not. I Feel So Much Better Just Being Comfortable With Myself And Hopefully Girls Will Accept That.

I Started Acting In Second Grade - My First Role Was In The Thanksgiving Play. I Was The Indian Chasing The Turkey. All The Other Mom's Encouraged My Mom To Get Me Into Acting After That.

We're In A Different Time Right Now, And I Think We're Ready To See A Different Type Of Female Hero.

I Had Started Acting When I Was 7, And I Was Always Wrong. I Would Always Get To The Very End [of The Audition], But I Wasn't A Perfect Package Of One Thing. I Wasn't A Cliche, And It Always Worked Against Me. I Wasn't Pretty Enough To Play The Popular Girl, I Wasn't Mousy Enough To Be The Mousy Girl. Then There Was A Tv Show That Toni Collette Was Starring In. And When A Role To Play A Girl Who Was Struggling With Identity Came, I Thought: "oh, This Is What I Was Supposed To Do. Everything's Leading Up To This Moment." I Was 18. I Was Like, "this Is It." I Didn't Get It. And I Was Devastated.
