“My parents have always been very supportive. I didn't go to school because my home was my school.”

“I was a good student until I turned 15. Then, all of a sudden, it didn't matter to me anymore. Isn't that funny. I don't want to go to college. I always knew that. But it's hard. My friends are going, and I feel a little left behind.”

“I wrote and directed a movie called 'Two - Bit Waltz'. We just wrapped. It was a blast, blast, blast.”

“Acting is a whole boatload of fun, but I prefer to do it on my own terms.”

“Preston Sturges is one of my favorites. I learned about dialogue and timing from him - louder, faster, funnier. But I do love Mel Brooks.”

I wasn't a perfect Hebrew reader, and also, they say when you're reading your Torah portion, you're not supposed to memorize it. It turned out very tricky.”

“I'm a truly loved kid, and hopefully it will make me a happier adult.”

“When I was little, I went to a Jewish community day school for most of elementary school.”

“The sad thing is that I know no athletes' names. I am not a sports girl at all.”

“I love clothes. No brands want to dress me.”
