Utah is so wonderful. My greatest memories of Utah are of always being outdoors. It's a very athletic environment that I think gave me a lot of drive to be fit and live well.

I've always wanted to be like the Hollywood Golden Age actors.

Grease is one of the movies that made me want to be an entertainer, and I have literally been waiting my whole life to play Sandy. My siblings and I watched it and played it out over and over when we were kids. This is my dream role and performing it live on television will be one of the most thrilling opportunities I’ve had in my career so far.

But trust me, if I lived in the '80s, I would definitely be the one going to the record stores.

I'm really loving acting. I want this as a career. I'll still write music and collaborate with people, but I'm focused on the acting path.

One of my mantras is if I'm scared to do something, that means that I have to do it.

If I had been living through the '80s, I probably would've gotten into a lot more trouble than my parents.
