Urban Dictionary - Twilight

I’ve grown up seeing the pros and cons but I love it and I’ve always wanted to act. Throughout all the rejections at auditions, and especially when I finally did get something, both my parents have been so supportive and always told me it is all about passion and, if I was doing it because I love it, there’s no wrong choice.

"But the thing is, I was never looking at a strategic way of gaining fame. That's not why I'm doing this."

Lily Collins spotted shooting her new movie Love, Rosie in Dublin, Ireland (May 20th, 2013)

“I spend so much of my time guarding against sounding insincere about something that I would die for. Maybe I’m overcompensating… I care so much. And it gets reported as the opposite.”

I would like to think that I am feisty and fearless. My mom and I traveled to many countries when I was growing up, and I have jumped off a cliff in Paraguay, and jumped off a cliff to go swimming, and I swam with sharks. So, I would like to think that I have done some things. I think I like to take risks, not be unsafe, but like take as many risks as I can.❞

My life hasn’t changed. Most circumstances I find myself in are different than they were a year ago, but I myself haven’t changed…however a normal 18-year-old girl would change in a year. But it makes things so much easier. I would do it for free every day even if nobody saw it. I cannot describe how good it feels to actually have something that is truly into your heart and soul actually affecting people. And that’s amazing. So that’s the biggest change.
