I had never been to Hawaii, and now I say that my body is from L.A. but my heart is from Hawaii, because I'm in love with it and it's home on every level, from a spiritual, soulful place.

The reason I keep acting is that it fuels some kind of passion in me, but the day that those butterflies stop, is the day that I'm gonna quit because I could care less about the magazines or being famous or the money or the awards.

I'm done living for other people. I'm done being a people pleaser. I'm done thinking about what people think about me.

When it comes down to it, I'm just a girl who wears those five-finger weird toe shoes.

I've been acting since I was young because I wanted to, not because my parents wanted me to. My dad is a principal and mom is a middle school counselor, so acting was like, "Eh, whatever. As long as you get good grades." It's really fun, and nothing more.

Every single character in the world, every creature in the world has something to give and something to learn.

I'm always like 'I'm too skinny, I can't gain weight, even when I try.' I'd like to try to not let that get to me.
