Well, I was obsessed with Judy Garland growing up. Like, obsessed. ”

My grandfather came over from Puerto Rico and raised his kids speaking English so that it would be easier for them to assimilate. ”

I would never do a commercial for something that is embarrassing, and I think that people maybe have a different perspective on what is embarrassing or not. Some people think doing a Revlon hair commercial is really cool. To me, that's embarrassing, but World of Warcraft - not embarrassing, very cool. ”

I think being on a TV show is amazing but also, people get kind of used to seeing you a certain way and so it becomes a challenge to break free from that in a way. ”
