Chloe Moretz: 'I like different roles because they're not me'

Chloe Moretz has said that it is rewarding to play characters so unlike herself in films.

The Hugo actress revealed that she believes choosing more adventurous roles will ensure that her career has longevity.

"I mean, it's acting. I like these roles because they're not me. That's what's fun about it. If I played another version of Chloe all the time, it would be boring," the 14-year-old explained in an interview with Teen Vogue.

"I'd love to be in this industry for the rest of my life - to write, direct, and produce my own movies. I'm an overachiever, you know? I'm always trying to find a way to do more."

Moretz also insisted that she will always remain grounded no matter how successful she becomes, adding: "Nobody really sits you down and gives you advice, but I've seen people who are so amazing and big but who are also so humble and normal. And I think, 'If they're like that, I can be like that too'."

She recently revealed that she is a member of the Film Foundation because of her love of old movies, particularly those starring Audrey Hepburn.
