When was the first time you watched Jurassic Park?

I first watched Jurassic Park with my dad in the movie theaters when I was just a child. He wanted to take me to see it but I was secretly scared. I finally gave in and loved it. I made him take me like 9 more times and I became obsessed!

What was it about the film that made you obsessed with it?

I don’t know what the film did to me, but I couldn’t stop talking about it. I think my family thought it was a phase, but it wasn’t. I was obsessed and I still am. I even had my little brother, sister and best friend reenact scenes with me. It was just magical to me. Jurassic Park is the reason I wanted to take the acting route.

Who is your favorite character in Jurassic Park?

When I was younger, I wanted to be Lex so bad. But, that was because she was the young girl in it and I related to that part of her character. As I got older, Ian Malcolm became a favorite. I have to say I had a crush on Alan Grant for a bit. Now, I relate to Ellie the most.

What is your favorite quote?

I love so many quotes from Jurassic Park. They are all so clever, no pun intended (laughing). I want to say all of Malcolm’s quotes, but I do love Ellie’s famous line in continuation of one of his, ‘… dinosaurs eat man, woman inherits the earth.’ It’s just perfect in that scene.

Do you have a favorite JP keepsake or collectible?

I don’t think I had any Jurassic Park toys growing up. I was too involved in the movie itself, and pretending I was a part of it. I made my mom pre order the VHS tape and spend like $50 on it so I could have it a week before it came out. I also had the soundtrack, and I would listen to it and go into another world.

25 years later, what is your favorite Jurassic Park related memory?

A huge part of my memories relating to Jurassic Park involve my dad. It’s something he showed me and it is a connection I have with him. He passed away, but we will always have Jurassic Park. I remember telling him I would be in one of the Jurassic movies one day. I was so happy when Jurassic World came out because it made me feel like I had the chance to make that promise happen and to make him proud. It’s funny how all these dreams came about when I was little and first saw this movie. Now, I am older and I am acting and I still have the same dream. Jurassic Park is truly special to me…it’s more than just a movie that I love…it was the beginning of a journey for me.
