But I definitely enjoy, like, the process. I enjoy talking with people and all that.
But you're not necessarily ever going to be handed a script where you can say: it's all done and perfect.
But, you know, it really depends on the character. Age doesn't really matter.
For Astrid, no matter what challenges they go through, they are going to face each other. It's hard for a daughter to accept that her mother is that selfish and that terrible.
I did musicals from about age 10 to 18.
I don't even really feel like it's happening.
I don't know... I don't want people to know everything about me.
I don't think I'll ever be comfortable with the idea of being famous.
I just want to act. I just want to do the work.
I like to take a character and develop it.
I look in the mirror and I don't think I'm looking any younger - so if I'm offered these great opportunities, then why not?
I mean, God, I'm so lucky right now with the opportunities that I've had. There's nothing to worry about.
I mean, I like to think of myself as being strong and independent, but I definitely wasn't like that at 14.
I mostly have to use my imagination to create. And doing scene after scene, a character takes on its own development. There's definitely a look in the eye that a teenager has though. I definitely wanted to capture that spirit. It's something intangible, that you can't quite put your finger on.
I still get really nervous, though, before each performance. It kind of hits about 15 minutes before we go onstage - sometimes I don't even want to go on. But once I'm onstage I'm fine.
I think everybody faces challenges in their lives. I've definitely been through it - not to the extreme that Astrid did. I try to keep some kind of identity and strength.
I want directors cast me in their movies.
I'd like to play characters who are older - I don't want to be playing 14-year-olds too much longer.
I'm 24. I think when I was 18, 19, I had a problem with it because I wanted to look older and more womanly. I look in the mirror and I don't feel or look 14 to myself, regardless of what other people think. I'm fine with it and it really doesn't matter what age I'm playing.
I've always loved acting with adults versus like the whole High School feel.
It's almost like we need to brainwash ourselves to listen to what's really happening and not just to the propaganda and what the press shows us.
Just live in the moment and not worry about what's going to happen. Life's too short. I just have fun with what I'm doing.
My dad's an architect and my mom owned a French bakery for twelve years.
My mom's like my best friend - our relationship is easy. I'm really lucky that way.
My private life... Nobody should care. I think it's weird.
Nicolas Cage plays a con artist, I'm his daughter, and Sam Rockwell is his protege.
Obviously you don't want to be anonymous, but you don't want everyone to know your life.
You know what? It's a great conversation starter, right? You meet friends that way. Sometimes it's a good thing. And then other times, I guess, the person is just a little too... then you kind of like want to back away. It depends on the person, you know?
I can cry on cue to get out of a traffic ticket. That's happened at least three times.
I love to travel. The last place I went was Amsterdam. I love Amsterdam. There is great art and cafes and the people are cool. They seem so free to enjoy themselves and live uninhibited.
I've always wanted to be tall. In high school I'd wear longer pants and platform shoes. I have to wear heels so people don't see how short I am.
