[on her scene on the top of the roof at The Amityville Horror (2005)] This one day I was playing and I was swinging and I had my wires on and I flew off the edge and then I [panicked]. But they said, "You're fine. You have wires on.".
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.
If I ever uttered one word that I said in Kick-Ass (2010), I would be grounded for years! I'd be stuck in my room until I was 20! I would never in a million years say that. I'm an average, everyday girl; when I act with my friends, I'm totally immature, I have to go to bed at 9:30, and, if I'm up late on the computer, I lose it for two months.
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, direct, or write. I just want to stay in this business. That would be my number one thing. I always want to be an actress.
[on her stunts in Kick-Ass (2010)] I had amazing people training me. It was easy because I'd done ballet and gymnastics before. It all kind of went together and basically all of it was me. It was a really great thing.
