Scout Taylor Compton – Song Bird

Q.  What are some of the recent projects that you are working on?

A.  I am working on my music right now, which is like rock-pop, which will be coming out this summer.  I just got done doing “That’s So Raven,” which my character is a spin-off for another Disney show, which is really good right now.  I got done working on “Cold Case” and “The Guardian” and a couple of episodes for the Nickelodeon show “Unfabulous.” 

Q.  This summer you’ll be starting college, a lot of actors forgo education.  Why did you decide to continue with yours?

A.  Well, when I was doing school it came really easy for me, I got sort of bored with it.  I’m just ready to take that next step into college, which I am planning on going to USC and studying film to become a director.  I think that it is easy to start when you are younger so you have a little bit more time than the people when they start at eighteen. 

Q.  We know you’re a song writer, will most of the songs be ones that were originally written by you?

A.  Yes, most of the songs are going to be written about me, what I go through, basically about acting and peer pressure and boys and stuff like that.  It’s definitely going to sound like it came from a teenage girl, me. 

Q.  Brie Larson, your Sleepover co-star, just released an album of her own, have you checked it out?

A.  Yah I have, I actually went over to her house and we listened to some of her songs and I’ve heard it on Radio Disney.  I’m really proud of her and I think that it’s going to be a really huge success for her. 

Q.  What was it like working with such a fun, young cast on Sleepover?

A.  It was really fun working on Sleepover, working with teenagers, I hadn’t done that before, I had mostly worked with adults.  So, it was really fun, we had sleepovers and we did pranks and I got along really well with the cast, especially Alexa Vega, we’re still friends. 

Q.  What made you want to be a part of that project?

A.  I guess probably when I met with the director and just reading the script, the script was so funny and it felt like it would be such a fun film to shoot.  Especially when I heard the cast, Alexa Vega, Mika, Sara, I just wanted to be a part of that. 

Q.  Do you have most memorable moment from filmingSleepover?

A.  My most memorable moment was when we were driving the two seater car and we were so tight, four girls in this two seater car.  My foot kind of went under the brake and Kallie couldn’t stop.  Yea, that was pretty scary but kind of funny to laugh at it afterwards.

Q.  Did you think that the movie would be such a successful hit with young audiences as it was?

A.  We actually did have that feeling that it was going to be a success for the younger audience, and we wanted it to be something for little kids, not just for teenagers.  But yeah, we kind of figured that it would be.

Q.  You’ve done a lot of charity work, why it is so important for you?

A.  Well, I like doing charities, I like visiting, I’m with Kids With Cause right now and we do organization for orphans and stuff like that.  I just like to give back to my fans and stuff and the kids that need help, I like to do that stuff.

Q.  How was it being nominated for a Young Artists Award for your work on “Gilmore Girls”?

A.  It was really fun, I loved working on “Gilmore Girls” and especially being nominated for it, that was cool.

Q.  Is there anything that you’d like to say to fans and supporters of your career?

A.  I’d like to say thank you so much for supporting me through everything that I’ve done.  I hope that I can bring some more movies for you all to watch.
