I'm a believer in challenging myself and overcoming challenges by doing things I've never done before.

I've really fought to get into rooms, and I'm a big believer in auditioning. It's hard, because I'm insecure, but I have an intense desire to prove myself to people.

I do consider myself to be a smart, tough girl.

I'm a big believer in overcoming and achieving and doing things and not feeling sorry for yourself.

I was lucky because when I'd done 'Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief,' I had to have extensive weapons training.

You never know what's really going to hit.
