About the filming of the "Eloise" movies: It was like a long vacation, a 54 -day vacation. It (acting) is something I want to do as long as I live. As long as you can laugh you are not old. My mother is my hero There is work, and there is pleasure, Acting is pleasure. "... I want to be challenged, I want to work, and I want to feel that I am not being held back, that there is something in front of me, something more inspiring than... just eating breakfast, you know?" "Oh! I would like to learn so many things: I'd like to take tennis classes, I'd like continuing vocal lessons, and I'd definitely like taking more ice skating and more tap. I'd like to really learn painting, and I'd like to learn Tibetan - Lhasa Dialect - and really learn Farsi, so that I can speak to my friend and her family; I would like to learn so many things. But I just barely have enough time to do what I am doing now."
