So many women around the world in so many different career paths and places are expected to be perfect and I know that it sounds cliché, but none of us are.

Sometimes things aren't a dream because you don't really think it's a possibility. So my goal on a daily basis is just to go to work and be someone that people like to be around. I just want to work hard and be nice to people, and I feel like when you touch people in that way, on a more personal level, then they go to work the next day pushing for you. And that's when an opportunity comes that you wouldn't have even expected otherwise.

I try to be more goofy when I'm on set now that I'm more comfortable. In real life, I'm so goofy and super weird. I'm never mean but people don't see the weird side of me.

My idea of happiness is effortless happiness. The things that ground you. For me it's art and cooking, for example, and when I can be with my friends and the people I love and do simple things. That's when I'm the happiest.

My mother was my beauty icon my whole life.

I started going to castings a few years ago when people didn't know who I was. People forget about [that time] because they've seen my career - the path that it's had in the last couple years.

There were a lot of times where I didn't get any shows and even until recently got a lot of kind of negative commentary from social media about my runway walk.
