What is the best thing about your job? "I absolutely love [this business]. I can't imagine doing anything else. It worked out perfectly."

What was your most embarassing audition moment? Before I tried acting this time, Mrs. Doubtfire was around when I was five. They couldn't find anyone for it. One day they said ‘can we see you?’ I was tagging along with my mom. It came down to me and I don't know the other girl’s name. My mom didn't want me to get nervous. I didn't care. I was five. We were going to Disneyland afterwards for the opening of Toontown. That's all I cared about. My dad, the night before, had taken me to see a Robin Williams movie. I was reading with him. She didn't want me to freak out so she told me that 'this isn't Robin Williams. This is his twin brother. Robin Williams is in Europe right now!' ... I go in and I'm sitting there and they said ‘this is Robin’ and I was so mad (at my mom). I said, ‘oh you're not his twin’? They just laughed at me. I walked out of the room. She said ‘how did it go?’ and I said, ‘I don't know. He had morning breath’. That's how we left it. It was horrible.

Who is your role model and why? "I love Martha Stewart, her cookbooks, everything that she does. I would love to open a restaurant and interior design company."

What would people be surprised to know about you? “People think I’m goofy, I don’t have that whole Angelina Jolie air to me. I wish that I did, and that’s an insecurity of mine."
