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.

My father is Cuban. Spanish was my first language, but I don't speak it that much anymore because I had dyslexia, and in school they work with you only in English. But I'm proud to be Latina, and most people don't know I am.

I have to work extra hard because I am dyslexic. People said that I couldn't be an actress, but I'm proving them wrong. Acting has helped me overcome the challenge.

I never saw myself as a singer; I never really thought I had the voice for it.

I was never a dancer before 'Shake It Up'.

I'm a relationship girl, I like relationships, so I just miss being in one and chilling. And not dating.

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