I felt like a dork growing up.

Also, my mom and family are very important to me and I know that this is not expected.

Love yourself for who you are. You are beautiful inside and out, and nobody can take that away from you.

I moved here to California when I was 13 to pursue my acting career

I did a theatrical musical, Annie Warbucks, when I was 11. We did a tour and we stopped by Los Angeles.

I have to have a little bit of time to myself right before whatever it is that I have to do because most of the time I'm sitting in my head convincing myself to calm down, all right, show down.

I'm an entertainer, period. But I'd probably have to say my passion is in singing. I'm willing to go broke singing.
