Do people recognise you?

Yeah, people recognize me all the time. I think it’s really nice. I don’t mind it at all. It feels kind of surreal when people know who you are and I think that it’s really cool.

Do you feel pressure growing up in front of the camera?

I don’t. I recognize that it is different from most other people. I can only live my life in this way. I don’t think I would be living it a different way if I wasn’t acting.

Are you preparing for that acting transition into adult roles?

You know I think I’ve been asked about the transition from childhood to teenage and now I’m gearing up for another one. I can’t seem to break out of the freakin’ transition here! (Laughs) I just enjoy the time I have now.

I really enjoy what I’m doing. I think you have to have a good time and not look too far back or too far ahead.

Who do you turn to when you want advice about scripts?

I think ultimately my mum reads them and my agent, but mostly it’s me. When you’re acting you put so much of yourself into working.

As much fun as it is, it’s still hard work and it’s still a challenge. You have to be totally one hundred per cent committed to that. I do value everyone else’s advice, but ultimately I have to listen to myself.
