“When all you've done is work toward being a professional athlete, and then you injure yourself, and you know that you're going to be out for a while, it's gut-wrenching. It almost feels like your life is over because that's all you've ever worked for.”

“Child actors are notorious for being brats.”

“Young girls need to see women who are strong and vulnerable and complex onscreen.”

“I just want people to remember I'm not perfect. I just try to lead with love every day.”

“I was a tomboy growing up, so I think I naturally take on a little male swagger.”

“I know I'm known for dramas, but around my family and friends, I'm really goofy! Not saying I'm necessarily funny, but I'm very goofy.”

“I normally play very serious characters.”

“As time goes on, we suppress our dreams, which really makes me sad.”

“It's incredibly important to my spirits and mental health that I come back to Minnesota and not be surrounded constantly with Hollywood life. Spending time in the backyard, helping out in the garden, going out to the lakes, reminds me of what's important and allows me to realign myself.”

“I grew up with brothers, so I very easily get along with men.”

“I sing. I used to think singing is going to be the route, and I still sing to this day. I still try to write lyrics.”

“In terms of being a vessel for female empowerment and a role model for young girls, I take it on gladly and seriously, but I hope people remember that I'm just a regular person, and I'm not going to be perfect.”

“I think that TV and film are very important mediums to show what people of all races, ethnicities, sexual orientations can do, and I think that, as women, we are still in the process of proving what we can do, what we can accomplish, and who we are.”

“I'm pretty proud of my fastball. I can throw a screwball. It's not as accurate, and I don't have the velocity like I do with my fastball, but I think my fastball is not too shabby.”

“I think it's really important that we see women represented properly in TV, and that's a multi-dimensional person: a real human being who's flawed, who's weird, who's awesome.”

“I grew up watching the Williams sisters. I did a lot of research on Serena and kind of stole some things from her.”

“When it comes to sports, it requires a lot mentally and physically.”

“I did this film called 'Prom.' It was a Disney movie. And at that point, I didn't know what the hell I was doing. I had no idea how to act. It was purely instinctual. I just remember the first scene I did and the first take, it feeling so right.”

“I know me. I only have brothers, and I know that I would do anything for them, and I would back them up to the ends of the Earth.”

“I really feel like the proper representation of women, in TV and film, is really important and vital.”
