My first proper credit was a small voice-over on an episode of 'The Sopranos' when I was, like, 11 or 12.
I tried the Crisco, and I hated it. Hated it! I couldn't roll it out. I'm a butter girl for my pie crusts.
I would not openly categorize myself as a sullen teenager, but that kind of role comes more easier to me than a bright, perky thing.
I like records. My favorite is Simon and Garfunkel.
I like to read on the train.
I learned to understand the distance a character can be from yourself and how important rehearsal can be to creating a person that feels like a person that isn't you.
I'm self-conscious about a lot of things.
Everyone knows kids who are snotty, and I wouldn't consider myself one of them, but it's easy to understand where they're coming from.
I like to make pies. That's kind of my new obsession - peach, blueberry, apple, strawberry. I make a really good pumpkin pie with real pumpkin.
I like being mysterious as an actress.
I get so bummed when I have to return the clothes I'm lent. It's easy to feel so special, but like Cinderella, you lose your shoes.
I like to go swimming, and I like salty hair.
When I went to prom, I was in a group picture, and a parent zoomed in and took the picture of only me. I was weirded out, and later he was like, 'Sorry, I was sending that to my sister.'
I love both of my parents.
I was never good at that Disney/Nickelodeon kind of acting. It's not really my cup of tea.
Everything you're doing is a chance at an opportunity, so why not give it your fullest and try?
I've always enjoyed searching for clothes. I like thrift stores and vintage stuff, and not so much going to Urban Outfitters. What got me interested is having to choose dresses for the carpet, and doing a lot of shoots with really cool clothes. I've gotten to try on a lot of things that I've liked, and some things that I haven't.
I try to miss as little school as possible.
You know how when you read a book and it becomes a movie, and it's different than you pictured? In some ways, acting is a lot like that.
I did some theatre. I had some smaller roles in a couple TV shows and films. I used to think I did a lot of acting, but my 'career' started when I started 'Homeland'.
