I've been lucky enough to play roles that are not just the preppy cheerleader or sullen emo girl. I've been able to play roles that are really vast and varied and very three-dimensional. Fingers crossed that it remains the same.

I started out doing theater when I was really young, and I completely fell in love with it. I knew that this was what I wanted to do.

Teenage girls in television and film, in my experience, oftentimes are portrayed as either the sweet, innocent virgin or the super-sexy, experienced, town bicycle. There never seems to be an in-between. I think most girls are somewhere in between those two tropes.

Living life as normally as possible gives you a richer well of experiences to draw from.

It's much funnier when the comedy can happen with me just trying my best to genuinely do a good thing.

The Goons were always one of our favourites; we always felt we were in that tradition - Goons, Monty Python, Peter Cook, Vic and Bob, Spike Milligan. We felt we were part of that lineage, but in England, it wasn't happening like that. There was a brand of comedy like 'The Office,' which was very real.

My stories are very somber, so I think I need the comic ingredient. Besides, life has so much humor.

Comedy has always been more challenging for me than drama.
