"Whatever you do, don't go into acting for the fame, 'cause you're gonna end up unhappy. And I don't really think you can become an actress...you are an actress," said Scarlett in moXiegirl.
"Before meeting her," said moXiegirl, "we had heard she was passionately serious about her work, outspoken with a sense of humor, thirteen-going-on-30 in the thoughts and opinions department. Everyone that knew her guaranteed we were gonna love her...that girl has a mind of her own, but ya gotta respect that. And as you'll find out, that independence and self-confidence has lots to so with her success." In a similar vein, Robert Redford said on VH1, "First of all, she's an urban child.

"When I met her, I just felt there was something very solid and strong about her, "American Rhapsody director Eva Gardos says. "I didn't want someone who was eternally cute. I think she has a really interesting face and interesting responses. I like watching her."

"She's a terrific actress," said Terry Zwigoff, director of Ghost World. "She was really the best thing about The Horse Whisperer. She's funny, bright, wise beyond her years. What I liked most about her for her part in Ghost World is that she's a little buit eccentric. She's got her own highly developed persona, which is very unusual for anybody that age.
