Actors play different characters in every project they do. Though it has nothing to do with my craft, the red carpet gives me the opportunity to show who I really am and be myself. Hailee Steinfeld Read Quote
With ‘True Grit,’ the language was very specific, as is Shakespeare. You couldn’t really improvise, nor would you really ever have to. I never felt the need to. It was all so beautifully written, and it was all right there. Hailee Steinfeld Read Quote
My character in ‘True Grit’ would set these goals for herself that seemed near impossible, but to her they were possible. She was never going to believe anything else other than that. Hailee Steinfeld Read Quote
When ‘Romeo and Juliet’ came along, I fell in love with the way that it was written and how innocent and vulnerable it was and how different it was from ‘True Grit.’ I really liked that. Hailee Steinfeld Read Quote
I feel that for the story of ‘Romeo and Juliet’ to be impactful, it has to be believable, and there has to be a certain level of chemistry between the two characters. Hailee Steinfeld Read Quote
Whether I’m a bit of an old soul or not, I am who I am, and that doesn’t change, whether I’m with adults or with my friends. Hailee Steinfeld Read Quote
I really love all types of music. I’m really open to that. I really love Bruno Mars, Justin Timberlake and some James Taylor and Elton John stuff. Hailee Steinfeld Read Quote
The rivalry between the Montague and the Capulet kids seems very modern to me. Juliet is a free spirit, full of untapped love and passion. I think a lot of girls can relate to her. And it’s very relevant in terms of kids defying their parents. Hailee Steinfeld Read Quote
I find that with period pieces, you’re sort of able to really take advantage of what’s around you because prop-wise, wardrobe-wise and location-wise, it’s all so specific due to that time. Hailee Steinfeld Read Quote
I love to hang out with my friends and go to the movies. My mom and I are involved in the Mother/Daughter Organization – national charity work. Whenever I get free time, we volunteer. It’s an organization so mothers and daughters can spend time together while volunteering. Hailee Steinfeld Read Quote
