You’re not going into it blindly thinking that it’s all going to be great. You have the reality of it — the grounded mentality that you need — because when you’re a kid you see things go wrong; you see a family member not get a job; and you see the after effects, so you come at it with a more realistic view, I think.

What else is she passionate about?
In an interview with Variety, India revealed that:
There is a foundation called Animal Hope and Wellness, and it’s strictly working against the Yulin dog festival in China, and so I think that would be probably my primary concern. And then even though I’m not involved with anything yet, I think something needs to be done about the homeless situation, so that’s another thing. … On a slightly lighter note, I love ballet and dancing. If I hadn’t become an actress, I would be a dancer.
India Eisley quotes
- When you're portraying someone, whether they're real or fictional, you have to find some kind of hook where it feels real to you because if you don't believe it yourself, then no one else is going to believe it.
- I've never really had that whole 'starstruck' part to me
- When I was very small, I was obsessed with 'Sybil' and Sally Field's performance in 'Sybil.' I was like, 'Oh, my God, I want to do that!'
- It's a big responsibility, I think, when you play somebody who has existed but also somebody who has just recently passed away.
- You can run into people, and they can be someone you thought you were never going to hear from again or never gonna talk to again, and they end up becoming dear friends
- A lot of the time with jobs that I've booked, immediately I'll read the breakdown, or I'll read the script, and I'm like, 'Oh I'd love to do this, but I'm completely wrong for it,' and they tend to be the jobs that I book.
- As an actor, those kinds of really intense, emotionally packed, dark things, those always very appeal to me greatly.
- Obviously, just on a visual level, as an actor, when you put on wardrobe and you look in the mirror, you're like, 'Oh, my God. This is great.' It instantly changes your posture and how you feel, and it does affect the performance as well.
- When I'm working, especially when the role is very intense or very demanding, I actually tend to relax just innately afterwards because work relaxes me more than anything.
- As a painfully shy kid, my fun time was locking myself away and watching movie after movie after movie. Watching a good performance, to me, was like getting a new toy.
- I prefer film. I think it moves slower, it gives you a chance to kind of get a feel for things. Sometimes TV moves so fast that you don't even remember what you've done.
- Just as an audience member, I've always preferred dark things and very heavy, emotional things.
- There was a period of time when I studied ballet a lot when I was growing up.
- I initially was very drawn to playing a split personality. I've always wanted to do that kind of role.
- I used to lock myself in my room and memorize scenes from films and reenact them when I was alone
