What do you do for fun? "When i am not working, i try and get in as much school as i can b/c i like to concentrate on my film when i am working. I like to read, play guitar and play with my dogs."

Do you have any goals you want to accomplish outside of acting? "I do want to work on writing, because – like, when I feel like acting is just living – I mean, really, nobody else can be a human better than anybody else. It’s really an entirely subjective, rooted in emotion, just feeling spontaneous, impulsive thing. Writing’s a skill. Writing is something that you can train yourself to know better. To know yourself better. And it’s intimidating as hell. I mean, I definitely will always do what I’ve been doing. I’ve also started taking a lot of pictures, and they help the writing. The pictures help the writing. I mean, I want to make books. I want to take pictures and then write all over the pictures. And then I don’t have to say a complete story, because I have the picture, and I have just a word."

Who is your role model and why? "I love Martha Stewart, her cookbooks, everything that she does. I would love to open a restaurant and interior design company."

What would people be surprised to know about you? “Since I was nine years old I was only doing movies I really wanted to do. I've gone in and blown every audition on purpose for a movie I didn't want to do. "Kristen, you have to go in, you have to meet these people." Okay. I just sabotage myself. I look at movies that I did when I was younger and I want to throw the TV out the window. I feel better and better about what I do as I get older. The process of choosing won't change. Talk to me if I decide to make a movie. That's like you're saying something now. It's not just a responsive thing.”
