Auli'i Cravalho

I love that Moana is a heroine, and I hope people take that away, and that you most certainly can be the heroine, or hero, of your own story. ”

What I really love are acai bowls, with berries, granola, and so much honey. ”

I credit my singing to my mom because she didn't give me a binky when I was a baby. I cried and screamed for the first six months - my mom would say four years of my life - and I developed wonderful lungs. ”

I have a lot in common with Moana. I mean, we both grew up on islands. We both are deeply rooted in our culture. ”

There are many wonderful themes from 'Moana' that people discover, and I also hope they're inspired to go on their own journeys and to learn more about the Polynesian culture, because we're pretty great! I'm so proud of the people the filmmakers talked to - the Oceanic Trust. ”

No matter where I go, I want to carry my family. ”

My mother always said to carry yourself with dignity and pride, and I just think Audrey Hepburn totally epitomizes that, you know? From such a young age, she was dancing ballet. There was a lot going on in her life... that was during the time of the Nazis. ”

From baby time to now, I wanted to be a Disney princess, and then I wanted to be a singer or an actress. ”

When I was younger, I lived on Hawai'i, in the small town of Kohala. It was beautiful there! There were the trees and rolling green hills. It was beautiful and quaint, but at the same time, I always wanted to just venture out. ”

It's just been my mom and I for, like, three years or so. I love being able to not have to feel like I have to share the whole everything with the world, which is why I'm not very good at the Snap Chat, and I need help with my social media. Because I... I kind of just like having just us. ”
