When The Working Day Is Done

Ariel Winter sat down with PEOPLE to discuss balancing her life between school and acting on her hit show, Modern Family. Highlights can be found below.

On balancing her two loves: “It’s not that difficult to balance [work and school]. I’m big into school. I really try to make it work.”

On pursuing higher education: “I want to go to college. I want to go to film school at NYU. I used to want to go to medical school. I wanted to be a forensic scientist. There were so many things I wanted to do. Finally, I decided on film school.”

On her possible future career: “I want to be a director. I want to act, but I don’t know if I could direct the films that I act in. It sounds really weird and difficult – but I’d want to do it.”
