But I'm trying not to be cynical - I don't want to be one of those people who has a cool opportunity and blows it. It's really amazing what's happening to me.
I'm a film doll. But I'm enjoying it. So I'm gonna keep doing it.
Someone pays me a hundred bucks every Tuesday to DJ. I don't think I'll ever give that up.
You know when there's someone new on the rise and there's too much hype? I didn't want that to be me.
It's become like an urban myth. I don't know her. I don't know anybody she knows. I was standing there at the party by myself for an hour and then I left. Once I got those auditions, I worked really hard. Nobody did me any favors.
