Humans are like cells, we have emergent properties. The whole is greater than the composition of its parts. Humans work better together as a single force, thinking and behaving in the same way. That’s what Castigation is all about. Ripping out traits from the human genome, one by one. -Castigation, by Madeline Parkinson
Crystal Reed for Unleash’d Magazine
I don’t care if people know who I am or if I make a ton of money, I just love my work so much.
"I’ve never had a backup plan; there’s no Plan B. I got into acting because I love it. It’s my passion, and it’s the only thing I can do."
"Honesty in art inspires and moves me. I am passionate about creating truthful experiences as much as I love being the spectator to a brilliant body of work.”
My heart will always belong on stage but what pushed me toward film is the ability for people to access it. It’s always there. If you need inspiration, comfort, relief, you can get it anytime.

Every actor has her one actor heartbreak. You put all of your thought into [an audition] and imagine yourself as Audrey Hepburn, then all of a sudden your bubble bursts. I auditioned for ‘The Dark Knight’ and went really far and then didn’t get it. I was completely devastated. The next week or so, I remember looking out my window and they were filming. I thought it could either turn me into a depressed person, or I could take it as a sign that I need to move, so I did the latter and moved to LA and got an agent.
