There's no photo-shoot academy. If there was, I'd probably be kicked out.

My mom's Puerto Rican. That's why I'm so lively and colorful.

I've always wanted to do all kinds of roles, dramatic roles and comedic roles, all kinds of roles.

The only pressure comes form myself. I put pressure on myself at first just because I was intimidated. When I made Amy Poehler laugh, it was a big thing for me. She's been one of my role models since high school, because she started UCB, which is what I wanted to do since high school.

Social media is a way to make communication easier. Obviously some people misunderstand it, some people take it personally, and some people are in a constant fight to grow their engagement. They even become obsessed. They feel like they need to be popular on social media. The most important thing is: You've got to be secure in yourself. In order to have influence on other people, you've got to know who you are, first of all. The reason I get happy when I get more engagement is because that means I did something right in terms of my audience enjoying my content.

I want to go to New Zealand. I have no idea what it's like, and in my head, everyone lives in/on an ice lake, so I'd like to come stay.

There are always parts of me that come out in the characters that I play - it's the only thing I have to work with and to draw off of.
