"Okay, I hear you, loud and clear, and I know why you want to stay at school

until the end of the term."

I love making independent movies,

so my agent sent me the script –

they had offered me the role of Claire in Public Schooled [Adventures in Public School]

and I just felt so in love with the whole story –

the whole script from beginning to end, I thought it was really special and really jumped off the page.

"I feel like a pretty cool kid..." "You are such a cool kid!"

"I hope this is a long song because grandma is chomping at the bit to dance with you."

The character of Claire in Public Schooled, like, has a really, like, cool journey

and a strong presence in the movie and in her character,

and I was so shocked and excited when I got cast in that movie.

It's always nice to just not be, like, working for one day on a movie on the phone

in the kitchen, like, this is a real fully-formed character.

"Okay, hug break."

"We're stuck together, you and me." "Yeah, forever."

"Forever..." "Well, not forever."

"No, forever." "Okay."

"Okay."

"Okay!"
