At a young age, I had to give up a lot of things, like being able to hang out with my friends.

I love making movies and hope to write my own screenplay someday and do some producing and be behind-the-scenes as well.

I like to dress for my body type and for my coloring.

Both music and acting are huge parts of my life - it's all about balance.

I'm half Puerto Rican and every Friday we have rice and beans and chicken in my house - so that's like a very Latin staple. It's just so comforting. I look forward to every single Friday because I just can't wait for my rice and beans and chicken.

I don't want to sing boring pop songs - I want to sing songs that are meaningful to me.

I can do this thing called the 'eyebrow wave,' where I can move my eyebrows in a...wave-ular motion, whatever you call it. I feel like all the teen magazines have sucked me dry of my cool talents.
