My big break was becoming the spokesperson for Texas Instruments. Casting directors really started giving me a chance to read for projects.

I think that everybody needs somebody to really look up to and know that even though you're going through a tough time, you'll get over it.

I personally don't think you can love two things like dancing and singing the same exact amount. There is always one that you like more, and that is most likely the one that you're better at, because you try harder in it.

I have suffered from bullying in many ways, from bullying in school due to my disability in reading, to digital abuse that I deal with on a daily basis. I'd like to tell the kids that are being bullied that no one should have to deal with the abuse, ever!

I think that since it's prom, you should definitely wear a long dress. You can wear a short one anytime! This is the moment when you get to be a princess, and for me, that means a sweetheart neckline, long, then pouf - out and big.

To me, being Latin is about more than your looks - it's how you're brought up.

I practice reading all the time. I read everything and having so many scripts to read, which really helps out as well.
