"When On Set”
Working on set, Lauren’s motto is “if you are not having fun, you shouldn’t be doing it.” She loves to meeting knew people. Lauren has said, “I love to be silly and make other people laugh. It’s imperative to stay lighthearted and have fun while on set for 12, 14, 16 hours a day.” Even though she loves to be silly, Lauren knows that when it’s time to shoot, all silliness must wait. She loves being on set no matter the role and always works hard. But of course, her ultimate goal is to be in a beautifully written movie or television show. And if it has horses then even better.
