Some stuff she auditioned for but didn't get.
The Big Bang Theory: Was told that she was too young for the role (she's 4 years younger than Kaley Cuoco who was 22 when she got the role.
Terminator Genisys: Didn't get it because the casting director said they didn't think she could carry a gun; they didn't ask her to hold a gun during the audition. The role went to Emilia Clarke.
Frozen Ground: The role was for a prostitute. The audition scene was her being interrogated. She overdid it and scared the casting director, the role went to Vanessa Hudgens.
Gossip Girl: Doesn't mention which role she auditioned for but she's glad she didn't get it.
The Hunger Games: Role went to Jennifer Lawrence.
Tomorrowland: Role went to Britt Robertson
DCOMs Smart House and Brink: Both roles went Katie Volding, says not getting those roles really hurt her at that age.
Spy Kids: Role went to Alexa Vega. Now realizes that she had no business auditioning for those movies.
All 3 of the new Stars Wars movies.
Heart in Atlantis: Auditioned when she was 12. When she find out she didn't get the role she "ran away from home" (walked around the block and then came back in a few minutes). Role went Mika Boorem.

Never liked auditioning for horror movies because she had to mime/react a lot.
