“I don’t think I have a lot in common with her [Cassie] in terms of - I don’t having an eating disorder, suicidal tendencies or the same home life she does… where her parents are kind of mad, basically. I think that I can identify with feeling vulnerable, or feeling lonely, or when you like a boy and he doesn’t like you. I can really feel that in common with her. I think she’s a really good character for teenage girls or even teenage boys, because she’s kind of an outsider, so she’s easy to identify with and feel passion for and empathy with and stuff.”
