I didn't want to find out the reality that if I wanted my dream, I had to lose weight. That's a crushing dream for anybody . . . to change yourself to get your dream. Nobody should have to do that.

Nowadays, people in the entertainment industry can have a louder voice than politicians, and I think its important that they use that voice to say something positive or to give a voice to somebody thats had theirs taken away.

I was a gymnast for twelve or thirteen years. Then I got into surfing and now I paddle board and hike and do whatever I can. I think it's my love of the outdoors.

It's difficult dating, as an actor because your free time is precious. The guy I end up with someday is going to have to love traveling.

I'm really excited for people to be able to see what else I can do, besides high heels and magic powers.

Growing up, I realized as an actor I had to figure out how to use my platform in order to give back as well and use that spotlight to shine, or at least to balance that light and to try to shine light onto the other issues that were happening in the world.

I get a lot of dramas, but I'd like to do a romantic comedy type of movie; that'd be a nice step for me. No more screaming or running or shooting... for one movie where I can just be in love with a boy.
