Young women are now looking at me for cues. That's definitely been a responsibility. But I feel like I was ready to take on something like this because I wanted to be challenged and I wanted to be afraid, and that's definitely what it's done for me.

It's always been my dream to just continually do really cool indie movies - character-driven stuff.

Dance has always been a really important thing for me, so being able to physically express the characters through music and dance is like another layer to things.

Going to set, every day, and working with the incredible actors I get to work with is fulfilling. I've been doing this since I was nine years old, so it's always been something that I've been passionate about. It's always fed me.

Auditions are not a natural environment, and you feel judged, even though everyone is just excited to find the right person.

For me, comedians are like the epitome for everything great, and they terrify me. I just want to be them. I want to be like them.

It's wild to be seen differently and have more visibility, but it's rewarding.
