"For the longest time I was brought up listening to only two genres of music, pop and rock. So in the past few years I've been trying to expand my interests because I think that you can only write to the extent of your knowledge, and if your knowledge is limited you can't write past that."
"Once you get to that point when you can just be yourself and relax, I just think that you're so much happier in general."
"I couldn't believe it! I mean, I'd always dreamed of acting on the screen - my previous background was all theater - but I wasn't sure if the opportunity would ever present itself. Not only was this acting for the screen, this was acting in 'The Hunger Games!' I knew that I had to give this audition my all."
"If I see a spider in my house, I put it in a cup, and then I take it outside. I save it. What is wrong with me?"
"I've been acting since I was six years old, but not professionally."
