God has always been the head of my life, even before I knew it.

I have visions and ideas about different things. Other actors just inspire you, so writing is something I would love to do more of. I would really be interested in doing something in that vein, writing something for myself or someone else and directing for sure.

We left Germany when I was 11.

Know your history. It can teach you who you are, where you have come from, and how to be a better person as a result.

I like what looks good on me and, as a result, I don't find myself drawn to one specific designer all the time.

Not long ago someone said I should shorten it to just Emma. But I really, really love my name. From as far as I can remember, my parents have taught me to be really proud of my name.

It's so hard to fight against someone who is stuck in what they believe whether you agree with it or not.

I just love drama. I love the idea of exploring relationships, whatever they may be. That's fun for me.

Climbing trees is still one of my favorite things to do. A tree and a good book and I'm happy.

After high school, I had $2,000 saved, and I packed everything I could into my '95 Nissan Sentra with no air-conditioning, and I drove out to L.A.

I'm a tomboy at the end of the day, so anything that causes me to have to run around, fight people, roll in the dirt, hop a fence - I'm all for it. So I really would love to do an action film.
