A lot of people do what their families do. Imagine if everyone in the family is a doctor and they decide to become an actor. Then people have to make those choices for themselves and their art and what they believe in.

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.

I like photography and I write; I also write music. One day I would like to direct [films] as well.

I'm still not really planning on pursuing a music career. I like to make music because it's fun to do and it makes me feel good, but I have no desire to be a huge pop singer or anything like that. I just like to make it.

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.

Being home is like a vacation to me, so I'm trying to get my home together.

If you're not taking care of yourself, lipstick and foundation isn't really going to do anything for you.
