Cassie Steele

“I'll probably never go to prom. I haven't ever been to a high school dance.”

“I started improvisation at age nine, and I loved it so much I stuck with it. As a by-product, acting was just something I was lucky enough to fall into.”

“I really like action-dramas like 'The Professional' or 'La Femme Nikita.' I'd really like to be in a movie like that.”

“My dad probably gave me the best advice growing up. I think it's really just keeping your cool in situations and learning to balance everything.”

“I'm a huge geek, so I love 'Stargate' and 'Firefly.'”

“I totally have this thing for Harry Styles from One Direction. But, like, I could totally date the rest of the band as one. I mean, if I could date all of them at one time, that'd be, like, ideal. They seem pretty close, but who knows? Maybe not that close.”

“I have two dogs and a parrot, so they require a lot of attention. They deserve it.”

“I definitely want to act and I want to sing. If those two fall through, I want to become a writer, probably, like a songwriter for other people, or a novel writer. I write a lot, and I read a lot. I like reading fiction.”

“I feel like my life is pretty much on display. So much of it is working, and that's really all I want to do. I'm an open book.”

“I started classical and operatic lessons when I was 8 and become an operatic singer and went to competition. I write my own music. A lot of the songs, growing up, I was into writing dark stories and poems, and one day I started putting melodies to them.”

“L.A. is such a big city, and there's so much going on. I mean, you know you're in L.A. when you can just hear sirens all the time.”

“People ask me all the time which I would prefer doing more, but I honestly can't say. When I'm filming, I'm like, 'No, this is my favorite,' and when I'm writing music and recording and performing, it's like, 'This is definitely it.'”

“I came from a very musical family, so I grew up singing karaoke with the family. My family said 'do this' and brought me to singing lessons. I had always been writing poems and songs.”

“I like my hair long, and I love my bangs. I love them because I can pin them back or keep the fringe with attitude.”

“I like mythology - anything historical.”

“In my down time, I'm a homebody. I like to do a walkabout. I like my alone time.”

“You never have an indifferent feeling after an audition. It's either gone really well or really terribly.”
