My mom gives me an allowance. She keeps me pretty tight-reined.

There's such a stigma around girls' periods, and women's sexuality - girls can't speak out for themselves or be who they want to be. I think that coming from the social platform that I have, I try to be a positive influence, and this was something that I felt needed to be seen and heard.

You go up for hundreds, thousands of roles, and you get told no, no, no, so many times.

My mom won't let anyone treat me like a little princess.

You have to think about yourself and think about where you are and if you're happy. If you feel good and you feel happy, then that's the path you should be on.

When I've done gymnastics, ballet or soccer - I was always trying to be the best. I'm really driven. Really driven.

I have learned never to judge any of the characters that I portay. Sometimes that is difficult to do because as a human being we tend to make judgements when we find out information about people and situations. In order to bring a character to life, though, I find that I cannot judge her or I won't be true to her.
