“That's one thing I love about Raven, is that she's always rebuilding herself to be better and stronger.”

“I remember I had a low point when I was working on a soap opera, 'General Hospital,' five years ago. It was my first real job, and it was so overwhelming. You would work five days a week and have to learn sometimes up to 30 pages of new dialogue a night, then have one take to shoot it all, the next day.”

“'GH' became my family in a sense. I had a family and friends in the actual cast and then in real life; loved everyone on set and the crew.”

“Of course I wish for all positive reviews and all positive things, but that's not reality and no one's perfect.”

“I watch a variety of shows. I love 'Veep,' 'Parks and Recreation,' 'Girls,' 'Mad Men,' 'Game of Thrones' and fun shows like 'Empire.'”

“There are times in my life where I'm frantic and I think to myself, 'Okay, what would Raven do now?' As dumb as that sounds, it's in my head.”

“We need to see examples of empowerment, because when we see that... it seems like that's the norm.”

“I had a big brother so I always wanted him to hang out with me, but he wouldn't. So I always did sports and I always really liked it, but I just was never good at it.”

“Cameos are fun. You get to be the new kid on a new set, in a new world with a new family.”

“When I play Raven, I have to play her at the height of my intelligence.”

“My family and my friends definitely keep me connected to my culture.”

“I was really interested in doing a really science fiction-based story because it's something I feel like I hadn't done yet.”

“The problem with Raven is that she's so smart, so sometimes it's hard for her to be hopeful or idealistic, because she's so realistic. So even if she's working on a solution, she's not proud of it until it's concrete.”

“I've done some Muay Thai training just for fun.”

“I found this website, The Experience Project, which has people write first-hand experiences of their life and what they went through. There would be a 75-year-old man who talked about his childhood or a 15-year-old girl who talked about what she is going through right now. It was amazing to read their personal thoughts.”

“I was mentored in high school through the National Hispanic Institute and I did the same for girls when I got older.”

“I never told anyone how unhappy I was because I was also grateful I had a job versus so many people that didn't. I did not think I was allowed to be miserable, but I was overworked, sleep-deprived and just lost.”

“Being the smartest person in the room I think can be very lonely.”

“Raven's always trying to do the best she can for the group. Aside from the couple of mistakes she's made, she's always been a protagonist.”

“I think, at the end of the day, that's the essence of 'The 100': 'Save your friends first.'”
