“I remember going to Hollywood... I had only packed a small bag because I was convinced they were going to fire me,” nypost.com quoted her as saying. 
 
“Being a teenager that's come out of sort of big blockbuster films, there was a lot of criticism. People saying, 'She's s**t, she can't act, she can't do it. What's the point? She's pouty, she's thin.' Being a teenager, you do read it all.?.?. you go, 'Oh, my God, I'm that awful'," she added.
