If you had asked me when I was in Yale, I would tell you I never would have thought it would happen because I just didn't think of myself of having the Hollywood look.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Even if I weren't in Hollywood, I would feel pressure to look a certain way.
I just feel lucky to have grown up where I did because I think it gave me a nice base. Hollywood can really mess with your sense of self and I feel like coming from the South keeps me pretty grounded.
Hollywood wouldn't suit me. In L.A. it's all about work - studio people have their five minutes with you and they go, 'Oh mah Gahd, I love your movie.' You just feel very self-conscious there.
I always took it for granted that there would be life after Hollywood.
I don't know how Hollywood sees me.
One day, you're a nobody, and the next, you're in a movie that everybody is talking about. But Hollywood has a way of knocking you back down to Earth.
I probably wouldn't be acting if I didn't grow up in Hollywood.
In Hollywood, most things are based on looks, so I'd love to do something that has nothing to do with how I look.
It was total naivety that got me to Hollywood. I thought it was going to happen straight away. I told myself 'give it 5 years, there's no way I'll be here after that if it doesn't happen'. Cut to ten years later!
Everyone should see Hollywood once, I think, through the eyes of a teenage girl who has just passed a screen test.
