Los Angeles, Aug 5 (PTI) "True Grit" star Hailee Steinfeld has her sights set on establishing a solid music career.
The 19-year-old actress, whose debut single 'Love Myself' has done well, says she is confident that she can take it forward, reported Seventeen magazine.
The actress, who recently teamed up with Zedd and Grey for 'Starving', says, "I want to make the best first album I can possibly make. And I want to get to a level where I can headline my own arena tour.
"I know that I can make it happen. It's just the beginning. I see the future being really big."
The actress started her movie career when she was only eight says she faced bullying in her school days.
"... there would be times when I'd come back to my desk and have hand sanitizer all over my books and in my water bottle. People would come by and slam my locker shut when I was still putting my books in it. It was just the most absurd things that you are supposed to see only in the movies."
The hard experiences helped the young star in preparing for her role in "The Edge of Seventeen", where she plays an awkward teenager living in the shadow of her popular older brother.
"This girl goes through experiences I totally went through, where it felt like it was the absolute end of the world. Just having so many moments where you question who you are and what it is that you're good at and what you feel good in.
