Danielle Panabaker Quotations

I could be playing high school until I'm, like, 30 or something, at the rate I'm growing.

I think it's important to be kind to the world before it disappears if we don't take care of it.

When we lived in a suburb of Atlanta, Georgia, my sister and I did a local play. My whole family got involved. My mom did the makeup. My sister and I were being homeschooled, and my parents wanted us to be socialized. We had a lot of fun with the other kids hanging out backstage.

It's funny, one of the reasons why I never wear my glasses any more is that, when I was younger, a guy once said that he liked me until he found out that I wear glasses.

I don't think anyone would care about my private life because I don't do anything. I'm at home with my dog.

I am actually a big sissy, and growing up, I never used to watch horror movies. 'Bambi' gave me nightmares.

I think people come into our lives for a reason, and we can learn from them, and they have lessons to teach us.

I feel like it does get busier professionally, but personally, I think I choose how I spend my time more carefully, so it balances it out in that sense.

I maybe need a break, because I feel like I've done every iteration of it, and that's what's been great, you know - 'Mr. Brooks' is so different from 'Friday the 13th,' which is so different from 'The Crazies,' which is different from 'Piranha.' So, I feel like I've kind of covered it across the board.

I was always the biggest nerd in school: I had very few friends; I was always picked on; I used to wear really big glasses. I was the epitome of a nerd.

I'd love to be able to multiply because then I could be in lots of different places at once.

I haven't shut any doors, and I'm really open to anything, so I think it's just about the material and what is going to get made.

I feel so fortunate to have been able to work so much, particularly in the horror-thriller genre, but I would love to be able to do something perhaps a little more dramatic or even a romantic comedy.

I think the important part is picking clothes that are flattering to your figure, and obviously I want a big say in what I was going to wear, 'cause it's still me that's out there.

I look younger; I feel younger. I'm in no rush to grow up or seem older to people.

A fight scene with a crazy can be quite physical. You don't feel it while you're acting, but each day you go, that hurts.

I am a big scaredy-cat; horror films terrify me.

I feel like I'm always on the go, I'm always on the run.

I have a really hard time watching my sister act in anything, but especially anything where it's a strong emotion.

I really did graduate at 14, and I go to college in the Los Angeles area near where I live.

I would love a little bit of a change.

To do a television show, one can be sort of spoiled. You get to have your own trailer, your own space - that sort of thing.

I think television is a big commitment, so it has to be something that you're really excited about and something that you want to potentially commit a lot of time to.

Trying to stay in the moment as an actor and being really [present in] what you're doing and the scene that's going on and where the characters have come from, it wasn't difficult, per se, to really embody and embrace.

I would love a little bit of a change. I feel so fortunate to have been able to work so much, particularly in the horror-thriller genre, but I would love to be able to do something perhaps a little more dramatic or even a romantic comedy.

It was so enticing from the beginning to be this woman who was entrenched in The Flash's world. She's not there to just tell him what a great job he's doing, she's also there to push him further and help him to be the best that he can be. She's often the first person to be a little bit skeptical of him, which is kind of nice. She really challenges him.

I can empathize with women who feel that [sexism]. I personally haven't experienced it, and I'm grateful for that. I feel very appreciated on the show I'm on, but I do empathize. My concern is less the entertainment industry specifically, and more the general problem that women don't get paid as much as men in any industry.

I'm grateful for the exposure that being on a show like The Flash gives me, particularly in this generation of social media and how accessible you can be to fans. And I think it's important to use that platform to send a positive message.

My parents really raised me with the value that it's important to give back, and I've always gravitated towards non-profits and charities that work with children.

The Art of Elysium is a program I've volunteered with for close to ten years, and I work with Unicef and Young Storytellers. My passion is really working with children since they are the future.

Purple's my favorite color.

I had been a fan of the show [Flash] for many years, had auditioned several times, and knew it was coming towards the end of its run. I was just crossing my fingers and hoping that something worked out. It was such a dream come true.

I have a scar on my forehead and the bangs were an attempt to cover that. Life sort of pushed a hair change on me, which has actually been really fun to play with. It does add a little bit of maintenance, but I have a teeny-tiny flat iron that I bought on Amazon for $20 and that has been my lifesaver. Even if all I do to get out the door is flat iron my bangs, I feel like I'm good to go.

I fly almost every week to and from Vancouver, so staying hydrated is super important.

My taste tends to skew a little bit towards the more feminine. Monique Lhuillier, Oscar de la Renta. Some of his wedding dresses in particular have been spectacular.

Sometimes I get a little nervous about wearing white.

I am actually a big sissy, and growing up, I never used to watch horror movies. Bambi gave me nightmares.

I give the character a history and a full life; this way the tears come naturally for the character in whatever situation calls for tears. Also, sometimes a certain song will help me feel emotions that evoke tears.

There is an element - particularly on social media - where I want to encourage positivity and kindness rather than negativity and bashing of other people. I think that is a way I try to incorporate social responsibility into my life, but I feel like my day to day is pretty average.
