“I’ve watched the Emmys for almost my whole life, so it was crazy to finally be there in the audience clapping and actually going on stage. Hopefully one day I’ll get to be actually nominated.”

I actually have a punching bag right outside in my garden.

I don’t celebrate really crazy.

Singing is something I love to do. I feel very confident doing it.

I’m really small, so I think if I shrink, I’d turn into a puddle.

I had best friends who were in the industry, and I’m like, it’s cool if you get a job, and I’m happy.

I’m keeping the pixie. I hope I inspire people, it’s really cool to have short hair.

It makes so much sense to just love what you do and go to work every day to get to get to work.

I don’t actually watch ‘Grey’s Anatomy.’ When I was in it, I kind of knew that it was a big deal. My sister’s a big fan, so I kind of knew.

I’m cool with people dressing up as Eleven for Halloween. I definitely want to open my door and give them candy.

It was really fun to play a period piece because I’ve never done that before and it’s completely different.

Orcas are my spirit animal. That’s my favorite mammal.

At the end of the day, I just do my job. I love my art.

I don’t care what I look like; it’s how people think of me. And I do care how people think of me. I want people to say, ‘Oh, she’s nice,’ rather than, ‘Oh, she’s so pretty.’

I write many essays on whales. I love whales, especially orcas. And dolphins.

I sort of knew I was a bit of a drama queen. I always threw tantrums, so I knew I wasn’t a normal child.

I never liked sleeping in the dark. I have, like, twinkle stars around my bed, so it’s not so bad.

One of the most difficult things is life is to continue running your hardest when you don’t know the end point.

Calm your impatient mind, solve all your problems & enjoy your life.

All the ups and downs you’ve experienced in your life were only preparing you for what’s to come.  

The more you struggle to live, the less you live. Give up the notion that you must be sure of what you are doing. Instead, surrender to what is real within you, for that alone is sure, you are above everything distressing.

Learn to detach yourself from whatever didn’t work out the way you wanted it to.

The point is not what we expect from life, but rather what life expects from us.

Our story has three parts: a beginning, a middle, and an end. And although this is the way all stories unfold, I still can’t believe that ours didn’t go on forever.

Make sure you are happy with your life offline too.
