I was a very extrovert kid. It felt normal to me to act. I always went to regular schools. I've never been catty or a prima donna, so I never had problems. I always had my seat at the cafeteria when I came back from acting.

I came to acting in a very circuitous way.

I've never had any prima donna attitude against me. It's always been very respectful.

Doing 'All Good Things' really felt like I was acting for myself rather than anyone else. It gave me a freedom I'd never had before, or knew I had, to do whatever I want to, and to argue my opinions and not just feel like the cute girl on set or the girl in a boy's club. I figured out how I could be both. And it's been different ever since.

I never read comics as a kid. I guess I was lazy and watched cartoons instead.

I feel very lucky that I don't have to rely on a man to give me financial security. That's a big deal.
