- She was considered for the role of Gwen Stacy in The Amazing Spider-Man (2012). The role eventually went to Emma Stone.
- Enjoys cooking, dancing, and singing.
- [on the "Die Hard" series] I think they're some of the best action movies ever made. Bruce Willis just brings such a great character to life, and John McClane is someone we can all relate to and root for. He's so much fun to watch on screen. It's iconic the character he's created and it's so much fun to be part of an iconic series.
- [on her career] I've been performing since I came out of the womb. I've been dancing and singing since I was a toddler. Acting seemed like a natural progression from that. I just started getting roles naturally because it was something I was interested in. I didn't plan on taking it out to Hollywood.
- [on what she is looking for in a man] I'd say someone who doesn't take themselves seriously. That's my biggest thing.
- You don't have to play masculine to be a strong woman.
- [on sex scenes]: I prefer to do a love scene with someone I've just met.
