I can really stir up a conversation. Every time I go to a meeting or a casting, I try to make it as light and funny as I can. I’m always making really awkward jokes.

The movies I made when I was 14 or 15, I have a hard time looking at those. Those were the awkward years. I don’t know if anybody can look at something they did when they were 14 and not wince.
