She shared with the mag, “We’re kids—we talk over each other. I was just penalized for overtalking and oversharing and being too loud.” She recalled that many thought she was “trying to steal the thunder” of her young co-stars. She recalls being called “an idiot,” “stupid,” and “a brat.”

“It’s hard to hear that at 13. You’re like, ‘I don’t want to ever talk again. I don’t want to be the loud person.’ In interviews I couldn’t help but think of all the comments.
