TV Chick interview

Interview0 Comments

Woodley talks with TV Chick about relaxing on set, her favorite TV shows, and the impact her Secret Life character has:

Feedback that we’ve got from parents who have come up to us and said like, “Wow, this shows opened such incredible avenues for me and my children to communicate.” I grew up in a very open household where if I had a question about anything, I could ask my parents, and they would answer me truthfully and not hold anything back.  I think that really helped me as a child know exactly what everything was.

Crushable interview

Interview0 Comments

Woodley is interviewed for Crushable about Secret Life and whether becoming famous has changed things:

I don’t put myself out there. I barely wear any makeup. I just feel like I’ve kind of taken on the responsibility of being a professional. It’s always awkward for me the whole fan situation, because I don’t know them and they don’t know me, so I want to engage in conversation, but then that’s always awkward too.  It’s a very interesting dynamic, but other than that life has just been the same.  I’ve stayed with the same friends and have the most amazing family ever, so I’ve been very lucky.

Seventeen interview

Interview0 Comments

Woodley talks to Seventeen about the serious messages of Secret Life Of The American Teenager, and about teen body issues:

I grew now but I was like super-short growing up. I was always the runt and now I’m like towering over everyone. But my family – we all just have like fast metabolisms, so we’re all lanky. I’m always like “I’m too skinny, I can’t gain weight, even when I try.” I’d like to try to not let that get to me.

Sugar Slam interview

Interview0 Comments

Woodley talks with Sugar Slam about being a famous teenager and whether she can still do normal things like go to the mall:

Oh, definitely. I still actually only go back on hiatus in February. I’m going to go back to my high school and graduate because I’m a junior. It’s definitely different. When you go to a grocery store and you go anywhere there are people staring or pointing or whispering, and every now and then you have a brave girl come up and be like, “Are you the girl from Secret Life?” It’s neat to have that happen, but it’s also a little bit awkward because I feel like I should have a conversation with them, like, “Hello, I’m Shai. What’s your name?” versus just being like, “Oh, yes. Here’s my autograph. Bye.”

Woodley does a cast interview for The Secret Life of the American Teenager on The Ellen Show. 

It makes you think, “Oh my gosh, there are 16-year-olds and 15-year-olds who get pregnant” … It’s really weird wearing a pad and looking in the mirror and going, “Oh my God, I’m pregnant.”

Secret Life season one

0 Comments

Woodley stars in the first season of the teen drama as a 16-year-old student at Grant High who is forced to deal with teen pregnancy.

My character, Amy Juergens, she is a go-getter, she’s excited for life, she wants to go to Julliard, she has all these amazing goals. And then she finds out she’s pregnant, and her world kind of comes crashing down and her sense of optimism turns to pessimism. And she freaks out, because all she’s ever known has been completely turned upside down. And she has no one to go to to talk to about her pregnancy. So it’s definitely a hard time in her life.

Replaced by Holland

Woodley is replaced on The O.C. by Holland.

My character went to boarding school and when they decided to bring her back, they actually re-auditioned me to bring her back. But I didn’t go through puberty until late: I was the 15-year-old who had no boobs. So, at 11, I was like a little mouse-child. I looked like an 8-year-old. That same year, I filmed a movie in which I was playing a 9-year-old. So, there was no weirdness when Willa Holland got it because she was so obviously right for the role… and I was so obviously not
