“Animation is a completely different world than live action.”

“I've always been somebody who wants to have my hands in all of the baskets, and I would go through these obsessive periods when I was younger. Like, I wanted to be the first female president or an astronaut, so I learned as much as I possibly could about those topics until I was over it.”

“I've always had respect for goth culture and fashion. And oftentimes they'll shave or bleach their brows so that they can do whatever shapes they want. Brows are so big on the face. I feel like you could really make yourself look different and interesting in doing something like that.”

“I like making people feel things, and I hope that the projects that I do in the future do that.”

“You need people to root for, you need people who motivate you to be better and also hold you accountable.”

“I love shooting chase scenes - they're very fun for me.”

“My older sisters used the Pink Grapefruit Oil-Free Acne Wash, and then I started using it once I grew up because I watched them using it. So joining Neutrogena as one of its faces is entirely surreal.”

“I went vegetarian, and any time people asked me what my favorite food was, I'm so indecisive I couldn't give them an answer. So I would say, 'Oh, I love avocados.' And people would say, 'But that's not a meal.' Well, I love sushi and I love avocados, and now it's my go-to.”

“Social media has impacted how we view certain trends, and we're always thinking about our image, but beauty is subjective. Your face is your canvas and place to play, so don't feel like you have to style yourself a certain way or look a certain way just because it will get you the most likes.”

“Oftentimes you get that question, 'If you could play any character in the world, who would you play?' And I always say, 'I don't know exactly who that would be. I just know that they would be written by Charlie Kaufman.'”

“I'm actually really sensitive to scents. If they're too intense, it can be overwhelming for me.”

“Sade is someone who will never do anything wrong, ever.”

“As a kid, I was always being told what I should and shouldn't do - which way I should go, what would be best for me.”

“I definitely have always loved wearing all black. I don't know who doesn't, it's just such a classic go-to. I think everyone looks good in it.”

“I feel like the Latinx community, first of all, they're not often shown on camera in general. But they're also oftentimes not shown in a positive light. I never want to play a maid and I never want to play a cartel leader's daughter. I would much rather play a person of power, a powerful character in a positive way.”

“Routine and consistency are very important to me because I feel they kind of ease my nerves and give me a boost of confidence when I walk out.”

“I know a lot of people recommend to not wash your hair too consistently, but I have very fine hair and I get buildup really easily.”

“I had done three McDonald's commercials. Two of them I was the apple girl, which is fine. But if you're around McDonald's and you're 9 years old, you don't want to be eating the apples. The last McDonald's commercial I did, I was assigned to be the nugget girl. And that was the greatest, the greatest day. I just had to eat nuggets all day.”

“I'm kind of all over the place all the time.”

“Every time I got a 'Camp Cretaceous' script, I would read them all in one sitting... I joined the show thinking that it was more of a kid-oriented show, but I've come to realize that the show could acquire a very diverse audience, reaching a ton of different age ranges.”
