Young women grow up in a really negative world today online and in person.

People like to clap back at the people who speak out most.

It was an instant weight lifted off my chest - both literally and figuratively.

I've been the target of haters for so long, for so many years. Ever since I was a kid and I first started the show.

I've always done pretty well in auditions. I just go in and give it my best shot.

My mother wanted to name me Jackie or Jacqueline but she got to name my sister and my brother, so my dad and my brother insisted on naming me. And they were big fans of 'The Little Mermaid.'

Female empowerment really is important to me. I'm a big nerd of the books from the 15th Century and 16th Century, when the men had all the power and the women had none of it.
