The average age of a model is fifteen years old. It's so crazy to me. And how confusing for men they're like, Well, I'm supposed to be attracted to that image - like that's what it's designed for - but it's a fifteen year old girl. I think it's a very confusing thing for every single person involved.

People want to go to a musical to be razzled and dazzled, so to have an opportunity to do a musical that feels serious and moving is exciting to me. Especially since people think of me as a silly, funny person, so I like to be able to show that other side of me.
