I always tell other young actors to go to school, or at least watch movies to learn as much as you can.

Musicals are my favorite. I'm a musical theater buff.

I'm a sneaker head. You'll find more sneakers than heels in my closet.

Your nerves can get the better of you, especially when it's your first film.

I love to be a vessel through which characters can come through. And if I can move an audience with my work, then I've done my job.

A lot of young actors will do a scene and then run off and look at themselves. I don't believe in that at all.

Young actors are pretty fantastic. I can't even imagine doing stuff like that when I was a kid.

Most young actors, that's all they're trying to do: Get better at acting and be able to keep doing it. And that doesn't work out for most people.

I enjoy working with Doon's talented, young actors and also get to learn from them.

Heart of America is a movie I'm very proud of. The young actors are great and the story has impact.
