I mean, I like to think of myself as being strong and independent, but I definitely wasn't like that at 14.
From Alison Lohman
You know what? It's a great conversation starter, right? You meet friends that way. Sometimes it's a good thing. And then other times, I guess, the person is just a little too... then you kind of like want to back away. It depends on the person, you know?
Obviously you don't want to be anonymous, but you don't want everyone to know your life.
My private life... Nobody should care. I think it's weird.
My dad's an architect and my mom owned a French bakery for twelve years.
I've always loved acting with adults versus like the whole High School feel.
I'm 24. I think when I was 18, 19, I had a problem with it because I wanted to look older and more womanly. I look in the mirror and I don't feel or look 14 to myself, regardless of what other people think. I'm fine with it and it really doesn't matter what age I'm playing.
I'd like to play characters who are older - I don't want to be playing 14-year-olds too much longer.
I think everybody faces challenges in their lives. I've definitely been through it - not to the extreme that Astrid did. I try to keep some kind of identity and strength.
I still get really nervous, though, before each performance. It kind of hits about 15 minutes before we go onstage - sometimes I don't even want to go on. But once I'm onstage I'm fine.
