EMMA KENNEY

I have to say that one person I learned from the most as an actor in my life is Emmy Rossum. She is so insanely talented in the sense that when watching her work, it just turns into watching her speak - it's no longer acting; that's how good she is! She just becomes the person.

You've just got to be wary around people. You don't know what they want from you. Just in L.A., people have questionable motives. Everybody's kind of got an angle. You've got to be aware of that.

Not everybody's life is like 'Gossip Girl.'

There is so much I'd love to do in this industry. I'm honestly interested in directing even a little more so than acting.

You're not always going to look super glamorous in the morning when you wake up. Everything's not perfect.

I just want to send a message to my fans saying that it's OK to admit that you need help, and it doesn't make you weak.

I started acting when I was 5 or so. I just did acting for fun, not actually to be an actor.

I try not to spend too much time on my computer.

I once tried to read the dictionary. It didn't work.

If I wasn't an actor, I never would have known who Debbie Gallagher was. I never would know how her feelings are or how her emotions are, or her family.

I loooovvve Dylan O'Brien. He's so hot.

Opening up your life to a dog who needs a home is one of the most fulfilling things you can do.

I would totally love to do theater.

I did improv classes just like any kid would do soccer or gymnastics or swimming. At one of my showcases, my manager came to my mom and said, 'We would like to represent your daughter.' My mom asked me that night if I would like to actually act, and I said, 'Why not? I'll give it a try!'

The director will be like, 'Hey, great take. Do you want to see the playback?' And I'm like, 'Definitely not.'

I love One Direction. I like Eminem.

I want to be the healthiest, best Emma that I can be, and I know that by going to treatment that's what's going to happen, and I'm going to continue on that positive road.

It's hard growing up in Hollywood, you know? I'm not from L.A. originally.

I hate watching myself on camera. I guess a lot of people feel that way, though.

If you put pressure on your kids to book every audition, they won't enjoy it anymore, and they won't book it, either. Also, if they don't want to go to an audition, they shouldn't be forced to go. They have to want to do it.

I'm pretty much a goodie two-shoes.

I had the perfect level, growing up, between being normal and having a little taste into Hollywood. People would recognize me once in a while, but I could still go out and have my life.

I went to public school my entire life.

I've written tons of scripts, and when I wrote 'The New Girl in Town,' I read it to my parents, and they suggested I make a movie out of it. I got a few friends together, and I shot the movie in one weekend, and then my mom and I edited it.

If you want a dog, go to your local animal shelter and adopt one. It's not rocket science, it's dog science.
