Diana Silvers

“I'm lucky I'm tall and skinny, and I got to model to put myself through college.”

“I never thought I was a fashionable person!”

“I don't like excessive violence. That's my thing. I don't like movies heavy with guns, any of that stuff, so I'm not into that stuff, but I love a psychological thriller.”

“I'm the fifth of six kids, and we're quite an eclectic family. People call us the 'Royal Tenenbaums,' because we're that kind of wonky.”

“A lot of what I do outside acting is really just for me.”

“I feel it's so rare that young females are portrayed as being anything more than a stereotype.”

“At the end of the day, I write characters that I want to play, because I just think, 'Hey, maybe one day it'll get made.'”

“I played tennis. My older brother, Joseph, was a cello player, and I played the cello, but he was better than me at the cello, and he was also a better tennis player than me, so I was always like, 'I wish there was something that only I did!'”

“'The Shining' is one of my favorite movies of all time.”

“'Carrie' - I love 'Carrie.'”

“There are enough roles for everyone, and I truly believe that the roles that we end up doing are the exact ones that are right for us at that time as people and as actors.”

“My dad put me in a theater group camp at Santa Monica Playhouse when I was, like, six, and then I started to realize I really liked it when I was 11 or 12; it was nice to just escape.”

“Being 1 of 6 made me a weirdo in school. We were like the von Trapps, and our house was like the 'Hunger Games.' Anytime my mom would get a good, sugary cereal, I'd hide a bag from my three older brothers, who'd eat everything.”

“I'm like a 70-year-old man at heart.”

“Be kind to each other. You never know who's going to become the CEO of what. You never know who is going to become Taylor Swift. You never know.”

“I never edited a photo of myself in my life. I don't have the energy.”

“Growing up, I was afraid of the dark.”

“Acting is kind of an escape. You get to live life as someone else, and when you're living this life as someone else, you don't really have time to think about your own life.”

“Really think about the way you interact with people, whether it's in person or on the Internet. You have to be very mindful.”

“I really want to do something that is very, very deep within realism, like a 'Winter's Bone,' or a 'Blue Valentine.'”
