Lauren Lee Smith

Lauren: I like to paint. I make really weird art. I go through trash and find all sorts of weird things; I make all sorts of little weird, really abstract art pieces or whatever you'd want to call them.

Lauren: (if she could change something about herself) If I could change... I'm very impatient; I'm a very impatient person. When I want something, I want it to happen right away. I've been that way since I was a little girl. So, I'm trying to practice the art of patience right now. When I get impatient, I get sort of worked up and then I'm like vibrating, and so I try to sort of calm down. I started doing Yoga and just breathing and just being able to relax a little bit. And I think as you get a little bit older too, that really helps.

Lauren: I never actually really, I mean if you call…Like when I was, from the time I was 13 I was the same height that I am now, and I was really, really, really, really skinny. And I, I just did a few little things. I wasn't really, you know, a model. I, I don't think anyway. Um, so there wasn't really any, some sort of big transition for me umm…I'd been doing theater form the time I can remember so it's, this is always what I've wanted to do. My family, we traveled so much when I was growing up. We, we were every six months we were in a different country or a different city so it was always sort of hard to be stable and be able to actually pursue something, so, um, I had to wait until I was 18. We were living in the states actually. Illegally. (laughs)
