We're In A Different Time Right Now,

I Didn't Have A Regular School Experience And Wanted A More Abstract Way Of Learning. I Started Exploring In Lots Of Different Creative Ways. It Gave Me The Opportunity To Travel And Play Music, So It Was Good For Me.

I Just Always Loved Mythology, Ever Since I Was A Kid. Greek Mythology Was Something I Remember Learning About In Fourth Grade, And Egypt, Too, And Something About Both Those Things Just Clicked With Me. I Just Thought They Both Were So Beautiful And Interesting To Learn About.

I Think More Things Are Becoming Socially Acceptable. I Think That Just By Having More Media, Whether That's Tv Or Internet, We're Able To See More Things.

You Know How It Is When You Put On Your Best Friend's Shirt. You Feel Weird, Even If Everyone Tells You That It Looks Good. You Know That It Isn't Right.

I Had Started Acting When I Was 7, And I Was Always Wrong. I Would Always Get To The Very End [of The Audition], But I Wasn't A Perfect Package Of One Thing. I Wasn't A Cliche, And It Always Worked Against Me. I Wasn't Pretty Enough To Play The Popular Girl, I Wasn't Mousy Enough To Be The Mousy Girl. Then There Was A Tv Show That Toni Collette Was Starring In. And When A Role To Play A Girl Who Was Struggling With Identity Came, I Thought: "oh, This Is What I Was Supposed To Do. Everything's Leading Up To This Moment." I Was 18. I Was Like, "this Is It." I Didn't Get It. And I Was Devastated.
