I mean, God, I'm so lucky right now with the opportunities that I've had. There's nothing to worry about.
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'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 don't think I'll ever be comfortable with the idea of being famous.
I mean, I like to think of myself as being strong and independent, but I definitely wasn't like that at 14.
