Even when I was in the orphanage, when I was roaming the street trying to find enough to eat, even then I thought of myself as the greatest actor in the world. I had to feel the exuberance that comes from utter confidence in yourself. Without it, you go down to defeat.

I'm unconscious while I'm acting. I live the role and am not myself.

The reason why I could get into acting was because it takes nothing to get out of who I am and go into somebody else.

Hannah in the show is enormous, like a Hilary Duff of TV. I hope everyone really likes her. She's a great person!

With acting, it's like becoming another person. I think that's neat, especially when you totally forget. If you totally forget, which I love to do, that's when it's magic.

I've not taken like acting lessons or anything but it doesn't mean I don't need to because I'm sure I do.
