I grew up in the limelight and being the child of someone famous. So my relationship with fame is not bedazzled.

I give myself homework when I have an audition. I give myself goals, and that's how I check how I'm doing. It can be something simple like 'listen,' or 'find your feet.' And then afterward it's an assessment, so in a way it's not about booking the job or not. It's about what I learned as an actor about that character.

When I was younger, I was almost too afraid to admit that I wanted to be an actor.
