I joined an acting class in my junior year in high school. I'd always wanted to try it.

I was one of those weirdos who, at six years old, was telling everybody that I wanted to be an actor. I saw my sister in a play and realized that I wanted to play make believe in front of people; I was always goofing around and putting on shows for my family.

When I was a kid, the idea of why I wanted acting to be the thing I do for the rest of my life was different. It was, Oh yeah, I'll get girls and be famous.

Growing up, I wasn't sure about acting, but I knew I wanted to be part of the movie industry.

I was an introverted kid; I liked my time alone. And the rest of my family is pretty extroverted, so I felt like a bit of an oddball. They're very gregarious and charming and charismatic people. I always felt like I was struggling as a young person. I think everyone was very surprised to hear that I wanted to be an actor.

When I first started acting, everyone in my family did not want me to act.

When I was a kid, I didn't know how I got into acting.

Then, when I was a senior in high school, I was kind of bereft and she put me in an acting class.

My mom kind of led me toward acting. She wanted to be an actress when she was younger. That made me interested in it when I was a kid, because she and I are very close.
