Morgan Saylor

I did some theatre. I had some smaller roles in a couple TV shows and films. I used to think I did a lot of acting, but my 'career' started when I started 'Homeland'.

It's so insane to me that this is my actual job, that I get to come to set and do what I enjoy doing and get paid for it.

I'm not good at Disney acting. I'm really not. I never was on that audition list, which I don't mind. I don't know. I look back, and I'm kind of wiping my forehead at the thought of, 'What if I had gone that route?'

Everyone knows kids who are snotty, and I wouldn't consider myself one of them, but it's easy to understand where they're coming from.

You know how when you read a book and it becomes a movie, and it's different than you pictured? In some ways, acting is a lot like that.

There's something to be said about being able to be retrospective about a certain age as opposed to just in it.

I think it's cool to provoke something in people.

I like being mysterious as an actress.

I like pushing myself as an actor.

When I'm in New York and L.A., I get recognized a lot more.

I'm self-conscious about a lot of things.

I would not openly categorize myself as a sullen teenager, but that kind of role comes more easier to me than a bright, perky thing.
