I always tell young actors to have a back-up. You don't want to find yourself at the age of 30 still struggling to make a living out of acting.

I always think it's hard for any young actor to make that transition to more grown-up roles. Because you don't want to alienate your audience who has been supportive of you for so many years, so you kind of have to tiptoe through that process.

I figured most of the best actors around 20 years old would all be at drama school, where they're tied up and contractually can't work, so I saw there must be a gap in the market for a young actor like me.

There's a very small group of elite actresses who are my age, who people want to work with. It's not easy to get a good job with good actors.

My advice to young actors is to push yourself and to aspire to be great.

I've really had good luck working with younger actors. Every younger actor that I have worked with has always been really on top of their game and fascinating to watch.

That transition from child to adult actor is so incredibly elusive. The roles that were coming to me as a young adult were not that great, but I was taking them anyway to pay the rent. And the more bad roles in bad movies I took, the less anybody wanted me for a good role in a good movie.

Since first starting my career, I've grown accustomed to working with actors older than me. I'm always the youngest.

There are so many talented young actors in the industry. I'm just happy to have a job!

There's a lot of young actors and people who have success very quickly who kind of expect it or don't have the experience to really appreciate it.
