I do have many of the same friends I grew up with. Most I've known since we were three or four years old! I have made new friends as well.

Acting isn't a side thing - you have to live and breathe it.

Don't try to impress people. Always be yourself!

I like "As Long As You Love Me" and "Boyfriend" by Justin Bieber. It gets you moving - you just can't help it! And "Teach Me How to Dougie" gets Zendaya and I every time.

I'm in the studio for hours in that tiny little box, and really, the performing part is what I'm most excited about.

Maria Canals-Barrera is Cuban and from Miami and I'm part Cuban and from Miami, so needless to say she became a quick friend.

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