I think as an actor it's important that people connect with the work and not, 'Oh, did you know she had eggs for breakfast yesterday?'" She has expressed gratitude for the willingness of her family and friends to keep her grounded as her career progresses: "Most of my friends are from school [and] I don't have a lot of yes-men around me, which I appreciate.
