That's really my goal, is just to be a kind person who knows how to speak their mind and get their points across. ”

All I am doing every day is soaking in everything - I'm like a sponge, from all these award-winning directors, writers, and actors - as much as I can. ”

The pressure of looking a certain way and having to present yourself a certain way is hard. It's difficult to feel genuine about yourself when you feel the pressure of being a certain person. ”

I love clothing and waking up every day and figuring out what I want to say with my clothing. ”

I started dance class when I was a little kid, and then, when I turned 11, I started taking vocal lessons, guitar lessons, and piano lessons. ”

My mom put me into dance classes, found out that I can't dance to save my life. ”

I didn't know what a 'call sheet' meant. I'd never been out of the country before, but there I was on a ginormous set in Australia with John Boyega and thinking, 'What is going on?' He took me under his wing and broke my fear of being the new kid. ”

I did as much theater as I could. I worked at a theme park and a Bible theater and a community theater. ”

I want people to stay true to who they are and how they're feeling. That's the biggest rule for myself - to always be as real as I can. ”
