Hayley Orrantia

“I am a super social person. I'm an only child, so I thrive on social settings and being around my friends because I make them my siblings. When I'm not acting or singing or working on anything, I am making new relationships with people because, to me, my friendships are very important.”

“I would love for 'The Goldbergs' to continue for as long as we can possibly let it happen, because it's my favorite thing I've ever done, and I can't imagine my life without it.”

“I'm a Texas girl.”

“Sitcoms always made the most sense to me. I grew up watching them every day with my dad. Every Monday, Tuesday night, we would be sitting in front of the television watching any kind of sitcom. I connect with that more, but I love to do whatever kind of role.”

“I mainly like to do singer/songwriter kind of stuff.”

“I watched 'I Love the '80s' on VH1.”

“Music has always been my first love, so making music happen is a big priority of mine.”

“I am a singer first and foremost. I was lucky enough to have a manager, when I was 15, who knew the heads of a lot of record labels at the time.”

“Whenever you go into an audition, you have to be as prepared as possible.”

“I definitely make time for music.”

“I love Whitney Houston. I absolutely love her song, 'I Wanna Dance With Somebody.'”

“I really don't understand jelly shoes - those see-through, glittery, sandal-type things that girls wear. I cannot, for the life of me, understand why they were ever popular.”

“I can't stand jelly shoes. They're ugly and not comfortable.”

“Every time I tried writing my own songs, they would come out very country. I couldn't fight it, and the more I listened to country music, the more I loved it, and it just became very natural.”
