1 | The fashion world has always been part of my life. |
2 | I think that at 21, I still look like I'm 17 years old, so I feel like I'm going to be playing teenagers for a while, and that's a very relatable stage in a teenage life for a female - that kind of rambunctious stage. |
3 | I'm so proud of this show and I'm really stoked that fans were so enthusiastic about the show so quickly. I mean, I got recognized for 'Arrow' at the airport when I was headed to Vancouver to shoot the second episode. That was kind of crazy. |
4 | It's so much fun to play the bad girl. Everybody has that little side of them they never really get to get out. |
5 | Adapting a Judy Blume book is something I really wanted to do, and you couldn't grow up in the '90s without knowing about 'Tiger Eyes' and reading it. It should've been assigned to all teenage girls. |
6 | I enjoyed The O.C. (2003) immensely but I want to expand my horizons more before repeating myself. |
7 | I like long floaty clothes that don't restrict me, and I live in flat boots. |
8 | I'd love to work with Julia Roberts and Johnny Depp or Dick Van Dyke. I love Mary Poppins (1964) - when I was little I was obsessed with it. |
