As An Actor You Always Want To Be Challenged And You Always Want To Have Someone Tell You You Can't Do Something, Because I Always Want To Be Like "i Can Do It And I'll Show You I Can, And I'll Do It Better Than Anyone Can".

I've Realized That When I've Done Things That I Actually Regret, It's Been The People That I've Been Around That Have Either Not Stopped Me Or Have Influenced Me In That Direction. So I Think It's Really Just Truly Evaluating Your Friendships. If You're Around People Who Are Negative And Are Just Sycophants... And Steal Your Light, Then That's A Bad Person, And You Need To Truly Cut Them Out. It's Hard To Cut Them Out But You Will Feel So Much Better After.

I've Been Working Since I Was Five Years Old, And Everyone In My Life, Outside Of My Family, Would Look At Us And Go, "you're Crazy! Take Your Kid Out Of The Business And Put Them In School Because You're Never Gonna Succeed."

You Have To Think About Yourself And Think About Where You Are And If You're Happy. If You Feel Good And You Feel Happy, Then That's The Path You Should Be On.

When I've Done Gymnastics, Ballet Or Soccer - I Was Always Trying To Be The Best. I'm Really Driven. Really Driven.

I'm Not Up For Violence, Just For Fun.

I Started Acting When I Was Five Years Old. I Found It Randomly, Through Listening To My Brother Study Monologues. I Auditorally Started Memorizing Them For No Reason, And Started Repeating Them To Anyone Who Would Listen To Me. And Then, I Begged My Mom To Let Me Do Whatever That Meant Because I Couldn't Put Into Words Exactly What That Meant. It Just Meant Me Happy. And Then, When I Was 11 Years Old, I Realized What I Was Doing And I Looked To My Mom And Said, "can I Make This Something I Can Do For The Rest Of My Life?" She Was Like, "yeah, Sure, If You Want To." And I Was Like, "okay, Great! I Think I Might Want To Do This Forever."

My Mom Won't Let Me Buy High-fashion Stuff Unless It's Tk Maxx Or A Birthday Occasion.

The Best Thing About Having Four Big Brothers Is You Always Have Someone To Do Something For You.

If I'm Talking To A Photographer, I'm Talking To A Stylist, I'm Talking To A Makeup Artist, We're Kind Of Creating And Collaborating And Making Something That Is Artwork And Is Special And Is Different.

I Get To Wear Vivienne Westwood And Alexander Mcqueen And Crazy Stuff, But Of Course, My Mom Would Never In A Million Years Let Me Buy That. She Won't Even Let Me Buy My Own Pair Of Skis!

Everyone Around Me Is So Strict About Keeping Me Grounded.

My Mum Reads Every Script Before I Go For It.

No Matter How Big You Are In The Business, At The End Of The Day It's Still Work.

The End Of The Day

I Hope Let Me In Doesn't Encourage It! I Mean, Vampires Might Be Real! Honestly, I Don't Know. It's Like Saying Aliens Are Real. I Don't Know. We Are So Tiny In The Spectrum Of The Universe, We're A Speck Of Dust Compared To Some Galaxies, And So Who Knows What's Out There? We Barely Even Know Our Own - We Know More About Space Than We Know About Our Own Sea.

My Mom Has Always Said That If I Get A Big Head, She'll Take Me Out Of This Business As Quickly As I Got Into It.

Mother Daughter

Of All The Characters I've Played, I Relate The Most To Isabel In Hugo. She's So Adventurous And Fun. She Just Loves Reading Books And Those Are Her Adventures. Isabel Is A Heightened Version Of My Personality.

My Mom Is Practically My Stylist. My Mom's Amazing, She's Like Everything Woman.

My Brother Trev Went To The Professional Performing Arts School In New York, And He Used To Do His Monologues And Stuff And Rehearse In Our Apartment. So I Used To Hear Him All The Time Doing These Things Over And Over And Over. And When I Was A Little Girl, I Used To Soak Up Everything - Like Anything Anyone Did, I Soaked It Up.

Film Team Kept Me Very, Very Shielded When I Was That Young, Because Of Course, I Was Seven Years Old. You Know, You're Still Kind Of Reading. It's Still Kind Of Like, "cat." "dog." "ann Jumped Over Fence." So I Guess In A Way It Helped Me Progress In School, Too, Because I Was Reading So Much And Memorizing So Much. But They Kept Me Very Shielded From Everything That Was Going On In The The Amityville Horror. I Didn't Know Anything, Basically, About The Film. I Just Knew That It Was A Scary Film. I Wasn't Allowed To Watch It. I Can Watch It Now, I'm Just Too Scared.

On Set, I Like To Be Treated Just Like A Normal Adult Actor. We All Put As Much Time And Effort Into Our Craft As Adults, And Maybe Even More Because We Have School To Do And A Lot Of Things To Figure Out.

I'm Only 13, So I Can't Say "life Experiences." So, Basically, I Had To... Act! I Had To Make Up Character That Is Very Old. I Guess That's Why They Call It Acting - You Do Draw From Some Stuff In Your Life, I Guess, But It's Not Real Life. You Have To Fake It.

You Go Up For Hundreds, Thousands Of Roles, And You Get Told No, No, No, So Many Times.

I Just Got My Phone Back Yesterday. My Mom Had It For Two Days. I Was Supposed To Read A Book And I Really Wanted To Play Call Of Duty.

I Think A Lot Of Things Can Be Misconstrued In A Lot Of Ways. And I Think If People Open Their Minds More, And They Try To Look Deeper Into Something Than Just Something That Is A Very Big, Hot, Fiery Button To Hide Behind...i Think If People Looked Into Something Bigger That I Was Trying To Speak Upon, They Wouldn't Be So Easy To Fire Back Silly, Miscellaneous Things.

Don't Front, Don't Put Something Out There That You Feel Isn't Realistic And Doesn't Portray Who You Are. Just Be Yourself, Be You, And Don't Be Afraid To Speak Your Mind.

Speak Your Mind

Just Be Yourself

I Did About 50 Pull-ups And 1,000 Crunches A Day. Crazy.

It's Hard To Confront Someone Without Knowing, [but] I Think The First Thing You Should Do In A Relationship - Any Kind Of Relationship - Is Confront. Then, If They Seem Shady, Maybe Go For The Email Or The Text Message.

I Choose Every Role, In Association With The Other Ones. I Try Not To Do One Thing, Over And Over And Over Again.

I'm Not Allowed To See R-rated Movies, But I Did See 'kick-ass' Because I'm In It. I'm Not Going To Skip Out On My Own Premiere!

I'll Date One Day If I Find Someone That I Want To Let Into My Life Enough.

My Brother Is What Got Me Into The Show Business. So It's A Really Great Relationship We Have. Our Whole Family Is - We're Thick As Thieves.

Great Relationship

I Think The Best Roles Are In Dark Movies. It's Roles That Aren't You. It's Fun Playing Someone That's Not Me. If I'm Playing Me All The Time, Then It's Not Acting. It's Just Being Yourself.

I Follow The Most Random People On Twitter. I Follow Famous People Like Khloe Kardashian, Who Surprisingly Makes Really Funny Tweets All The Time.

Horror Movies Scare Me, Because I Watch Them As Just - I Don't Even Watch Them As An Actor.

I Can't Stand [female] Characters That Are Not Empowered In A Certain Way, Or At Least Don't Come To A Conclusion At The End Of The Movie Where They Find Empowerment In Themselves.

I've Always Followed My Heart. With Every Project That I've Ever Chosen, It's Been Something That I Felt I Couldn't Live Without, And That I Couldn't Spend Another Day Of My Life Not Knowing That I Didn't Do That Role, Gave My All To That Role, And Gave All Of My Emotions And Soul To It.

I Don't Let [my Friends] Visit Me Filming And I Don't Bring Them To Premieres. It's A Different Head Zone - When I'm On Set, I'm Working. When I'm Just With My Friends, I Can Just Hang Out, Do Normal Stuff And Generally Be A Complete Idiot. It's The Same With Everyone.

If You Read The Novel, You Have Expectations. And, If You've Seen Something First, It's Just Hard To Do.

I Used To Have A Sister, But I Never Got To Meet Her Because She Died After Two Days, I Think. So If I Got A Tattoo, It Would Probably Have To Be Something To Do With My Sister.

My Mom's The One I Look Up To For Everything. I Feel Like I'm A Lump Of Clay And She's Moulding Me Into A Woman.

On Social Media, Like On Instagram And Stuff That I Post, And The Way That I View Myself, And Portray Myself On There, That's Definitely A Much More Personalized Take. I'm Not Collaborating With People To Make That, It's My Own Social Media Platform In Which I'm - It's Not A Character, It's Just Me.

When You Come From A Privileged Household, We've Been Able To Buy Monthly Feminine Products Since The First Day That We Got Our Periods. A Lot Of Women Out There Have Absolutely No Means To Be Able To Afford Something That Seems As Simple And As Much Of A No-brainer As A Feminine Product. I Think Monthly Gift Has A Really Brilliant Cause - Giving Underprivileged Girls Free Feminine Products Every Month.

I Actually Work At My Craft, And I Actually Want To Be The Best In My Category, And I Want To Be A True Actress. And A Lot Of People Just Want Fame, And There's A Huge Difference.

A Lot Of People Are Like, 'so You Want To Be Famous.' And I'm Like, 'no, I Want To Be Good At My Craft. I Don't Care About Fame, I Don't Care If I Even Ever Make It. As Long As People Know What I Am As An Actress In This Business, I'm Set For My Career Right Now.

My Mom Was Always Like, "if You Love It, Do It. If She's Actually Having Fun, And I Know That My Kid Is Having Fun, She's Gonna Do Whatever She Wants. Whether That's Gymnastics, Learning The Car, Acting Or Just Being A Normal Kid, She's Gonna Do What Makes Her Happy." That's How I've Always Lived My Life.

I Was Raised To Think Cursing Makes You Look Unintelligent.

You Really Get Caught Up In This System Of The World - The Instagram World, Society - We Really Get Caught Up In What Our Friends Want And What Our Jobs Want. I Think The Priority In Life Is To Feel Secure And Safe And Solid, Truly. Just Feeling Good, Just Being Okay With Sitting Alone. I Think That's A Big Thing People Need To Realize And Get Used To That It's Okay To Be Alone. It's Good To Be Alone, And You Need To Be Able To Sit By Yourself And Just Be Peaceful And Silent, And Learn To Read A Book Again; Learn To Just Be. It's Hard To Be When You Are So Used To Static Input.

I Hate When Things Are Sugar-coated. I'd Rather Have The Ugliest Truth Than The Best Lie.

My Brother, Who's My Acting Coach, He Can Be Like, "that Sucked, Chloe. You Need To Pick That Up. You're Not Thinking Right Now. Seriously, Think." It's A Good Harsh Reality, Because My Family Keeps Me Very Grounded.

There's Such A Stigma Around Girls' Periods, And Women's Sexuality - Girls Can't Speak Out For Themselves Or Be Who They Want To Be. I Think That Coming From The Social Platform That I Have, I Try To Be A Positive Influence, And This Was Something That I Felt Needed To Be Seen And Heard.

I Love Getting Told No 'cause Then I Fight Even More.

I Love Going To Topshop, Urban Outfitters And American Apparel, I'm In Love With Their Jackets.

When You're In Relationships With People, Not Every Relationship Is The Same And Not Every Love That You Find Is The Same. The Love That You Get From Each Person Is Totally Different. You Learn, From Each Relationship, That There Are Many Different Ways That You Can Love Someone.

I've Always Chosen The Roles That Aren't The Direct Lead Because I Like Being A Very Poignant Character In The Story, Rather Than Being Seen In Every Single Seen.

I've Played A Lot Of Fathers In My Life, And It Seems That My Kids Are Getting Older And Older In Films, And I'm Always Surprised At How Good They Are.

I Hope To Make Acting My Career For The Rest Of My Life, If I Can. If Acting Doesn't Work Out, I'd Love To Produce Or Direct Or Write. I Just Want To Stay In This Business, Definitely. That Would Be My Number One Thing. I Always Want To Be An Actress.

I've Gotten A Lot Of Young Gay Kids Come Up To Me And Talk To Me About How The Little Things I've Said In The Press Has Helped Them Come Out To Their Parents, Or Just Be Open With Who They Are, And Feeling Invigorated By That. So That Honestly Means A Lot To Me To Hear That The Things That I Say In The Press, They Do Hear, And They See, And It Helps Them At Least To Start The Conversation.

Sometimes That Is Difficult To Do Because As A Human Being We Tend To Make Judgements When We Find Out Information About People And Situations. In Order To Bring A Character To Life, Though, I Find That I Cannot Judge Her Or I Won't Be True To Her.
