Sometimes. We watch a lot of reality TV. My sister and I record Big Brother. We are obsessed! And we love old game shows like Password and the original Family Feud. Also, me and my sister watch Criminal Minds. We record every episode, and we watch it every single night.

I think in the original animated version of Sleeping Beauty, Aurora is definitely kind of a delicate princess and loves all things, everything you think a princess is, all those characteristics she definitely has,” she shared. “But in ours she is still that way, she loves everyone and is very open…but it’s nice for Aurora in this film, she has more depth… It’s nice that I could bring more layers to her and have more strength than just the pretty, pretty princess who is in the original Sleeping Beauty.

I always think of it as make-believe. That’s why I love this job, and think I’ll never get tired of it: You are creating something you haven’t felt or experienced before.

When I met her, she gave me a huge hug and she took my shoulders and said, “We are going to have the best time working together!” And we did—we had the best time! She has a huge presence. She would walk around set all the time with her giant Maleficent staff because she said she had to get used to it—she said it had to become a part of her, since Maleficent and the staff are so connected. Everyone would just stare at her! With the cheekbones, the staff just made her more like…”Oh, my God!”

I was 7 when I first saw a picture of her. I didn’t know that she was such a big icon. But I would just look at her and I was mesmerized. She was beautiful and so … truthful. She’s not faking it. If she’s having a terrible day when the picture was taken, she’ll show that she’s really depressed and having a terrible day. You can see it in her eyes. There are all the layers behind it.

I never really pull from experience. I just sort of make believe. That’s why I like acting. You can create or imagine anything. It’s not like I’ve fallen in love, but I’ve had crushes and things.

Elle was my equal, and sometimes I forgot that she was 11. Sometimes I still forget that she’s 11 because she’s going to be six feet tall. She’s growing like crazy, and I tell her to slow it down until we get through the release because I feel like mini-me when I stand next to her on the red carpet. She said she was trying.
