Alison Lohman quotes:

There will always be a few people who have the courage to love what is untamed inside us. One of those men is my father.

My dad's an architect and my mom owned a French bakery for twelve years.

I mean, God, I'm so lucky right now with the opportunities that I've had. There's nothing to worry about.

I'm 24. I think when I was 18, 19, I had a problem with it because I wanted to look older and more womanly. I look in the mirror and I don't feel or look 14 to myself, regardless of what other people think. I'm fine with it and it really doesn't matter what age I'm playing.

But, you know, it really depends on the character. Age doesn't really matter.

I mean, I like to think of myself as being strong and independent, but I definitely wasn't like that at 14.

My private life... Nobody should care. I think it's weird.

I don't think I'll ever be comfortable with the idea of being famous.

I mean, God, I'm so lucky right now with the opportunities that I've had. There's nothing to worry about

I like to take a character and develop it.

I still get really nervous, though, before each performance. It kind of hits about 15 minutes before we go onstage - sometimes I don't even want to go on. But once I'm onstage I'm fine

I'd like to play characters who are older - I don't want to be playing 14-year-olds too much longer

I like to take a character and develop it

But you're not necessarily ever going to be handed a script where you can say: it's all done and perfect
