Actress

Many of my deepest insecurities stem from my issues with my dad.

I didn't want to land an audition because I was 'The daughter of...' I never wanted to give anyone the opportunity to say, 'You only got the role because of who you are.'

I believe in the producers at Constantin, and I know that they have a really good taste level when it comes to the creative side.

I grew up knowing the pros and cons of the business and knowing what comes with pursuing what you love in terms of being in the public eye. I also grew up among people that were considered celebrities and people that people admired.

I'm passionate about speaking out against bullying and speaking up for self-awareness with young people and body-image issues and self-esteem issues.

I was very lucky that my first film, 'The Blind Side,' I worked with Sandra Bullock.

At a party recently I was introduced to Meryl Streep, and it took me a second to get my head around it. You know, that I'm meeting these people now. I'm doing it.

I think we all want to fit in at a young age.

I always loved dressing up and telling stories.

I think, in life, we want to surround ourselves with people who make us think and question ourselves, and those are the types of films I want to do and the types of characters that I hope I get to continue to play.

Because my dad was often gone, I never wanted to do anything that would make him stay away even longer. I became extra careful about what I said and how I said it, afraid he'd think I was angry or didn't love him. And the truth is, I was angry. I missed him and wanted him there.

I'm a fashion gal through and through.

I went to a high school, I took tests, I took finals, I went to football games - I did the whole thing. Because I really wanted to have that normalcy.

When you trust and have elevated personnel in each department, then the sky really is the limit. If you don't have that trust in the backbone of the project, you may not know what you're making.

To be able to say, 'I'm going to be Snow White' - it's crazy. It's an honor.

There's so many stories to tell in Hollywood in the Golden Age that stems from truth.

I love Charlotte Olympia and Sophia Webster shoes best - they're like art for the feet.

I couldn't handle the pain and confusion surrounding my dad's divorce, and I was having a hard time balancing being a teenager with pursuing two different grown-up careers.

It's a weird thing to have your dad or your parent be on the stage with a million people saying their name, and you're like, 'No, that's just dad.'

When it comes to the work, I'm excited to see what people think. When it comes to the private life, that's when I don't pay attention.
