Obviously when you're a child actor, you have zero inhibitions. You don't care. You don't get introverted thinking people are looking at you funny.

I'm just the annoying person who's like Hi! My name is Alanna! Do you want to chat?

I think that I originally became an actor because I was super, super dramatic. Over the top, all the time. I was the kid that would bump my knee and scream and cry as if I'd been shot in the face. So just automatically, the only outlet for my drama was acting and I loved theater.

You never know when you're going to die in the show - it's kind of funny when you say that out of context, I don't know when I'm going to die - but you don't have time to have an ego or an attitude because you just get the chop.
