Every time an adult is going to write something for a teenager and you don't have, physically, a person who is that, you are always going to be a little off.
Dancing for the length of time that I did, it centered me in such a way to be really in tune with my body, and I just feel like I'm physically able to do things because of my ballet background. Without ballet, I don't think I'd look graceful at all on screen.
I just want to be part of great stories that are told and for them to be relevant.
I don't believe actors who say they don't bleed into their characters. It's absolutely impossible not to.
I'm Latin - we start young, honey!
Call me crazy - I love elk meat!
I get along very well with animals and children. I dig them, I get them.
Basically, there's not enough sex in movies, that's it. I'm trying to say it, people. I miss sex in movies because sex is natural, guns are not.
I want to be in the small percentage of women who don't settle for conventional roles.
Growing up, my dolls were doctors and on secret missions. I had Barbie Goes Rambo.
The biggest battle that I have is being a woman in the world. That takes center stage for me.
I think as an American society, when we're paying too many taxes or dealing with war, we don't want to see sad things at the movies.
When I act, a part of me goes into the character I am playing.
I just want to be a part of great stories, whether I'm part of an amazing ensemble cast or I'm leading it or the antagonist or whatever.
Our censorship has sort of gotten a little too far. Too much censorship is just as bad as having none at all. Children need to be exposed to things, because if they don't see it, eventually, it's not like it's not going to happen, but it's just that there needs to be a balance.
It gets pretty boring when all you are is the support system for a male character.
I had to quit ballet because it felt like a part of me was dying inside.
In dance you use every party of your body except your voice. I wanted to start acting because I wanted to use my voice.
If there's anything that I've always said about myself is that to me, it's much more important for me to get to work with filmmakers that I've grown up loving and admiring.
Physical roles give me a chance to learn something new.
