It's been difficult to find roles that are independent, strong, and self-assured; I always say I can't play the princess. I'm not a pretty princess! I'm a tomboy.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It's hard to see yourself as a princess because it involves a huge leap of the imagination and sort of requires you to believe you can be that, which is a scary, weird thing.
When I was little... I didn't relate to princesses. I saw Maleficent, and I just thought she was so - she was so elegant.
Every young girl wants to be a princess. Then, when you find a real-life one, it's very easy to imagine yourself in that role.
I'm not a princess. My mother is, not I. I am the niece of a head of state. And with this status, I have some representational duties - nothing very constraining or very exceptional.
It's hard because I seek out strong female roles. I turn down a lot of stuff, not because it's not good, but because I don't want to play certain types of characters. I don't like to just play the pretty girl.
I've been fortunate to play many different types of characters thus far. However, I really enjoy playing roles that are different than who I am personally. You can have these small fantasy worlds where you can be people you would otherwise never get to be: a doctor, a lawyer, a ruthless business woman.
I act according to the requirements of the character, and if I try to play the role, then I play it truthfully. In my daily life, I'm a laid-back, peaceful guy. I'm just doing my job to act.
I'm usually cast for the more goofy and tomboyish characters.
I am not a princess, I don't want to be referred to as a princess - I find that super creepy.
Being a princess isn't all it's cracked up to be.
