Unfortunately, some phenomenal scenes were cut due to time, but I'm thrilled they'll be on the DVD.

They found beautiful sites in the woods. It was very real.

I threw myself into it blindly. I put my heart and soul into it.

You can't really change the way people think, what their values are. It was acting. It was a job. It wasn't anything real, and it's trying to tell a story of Native Americans and Pocahontas. It's trying to be historically accurate.

They thanked me so much for coming in, except I definitely was too young for this role because they were looking for somebody 18 and older.

I don't know why. I just cut it.

I was sad but you know it's the first step in the right direction.

It was like a roller-coaster ride because I would never know what to expect. . . . They would throw things at me to see if I was able to withstand the pressures.

The casting directors would always tell me that I was too exotic or I was too Native American-looking and they can't do anything with me and they don't make Westerns anymore.
