I'm a New Yorker; I've paid my dues.

I never had a real job. I started acting in high school, and then I started working. So, I never got to have that experience.

My style is very inspired by both my parents, so we all have the same taste.

It's sad to have to leave your family but I like the idea of someone believing in something so strongly that are willing to find a new family.

So, first, I wanted to be a part of the project because I thought it was an important story to tell. On top of that, it's rare to find roles for strong, young, feisty women, especially in a military film. And I love that Suarez ends up being the moral compass of the story, and that she's also brave enough to stand up to all these men.

I feel like whole idea with makeup is that I don't want anyone to think, 'Oh she's wearing makeup.' I just want them to think, 'Oh she looks good!'

People love teen movies because everyone can relate.
