“When I was growing up, I wanted to see girls like me on television and in movies - strong girls who aren't crying over their relationships or whatever.”

“I became super stressed, depressed and miserable because I thought I was terrible at my job when I could not perform flawlessly every day, every scene.”

“Women have always been strong; women have been capable and able and amazing at life.”

“I was always athletic when I was growing up.”

“I think I am pretty resilient and resourceful.”

“As cheesy as it might sound, I've got to give credit to movies like 'The Hunger Games' and 'Divergent' because they are stories written about young heroines. It's not just about super guys any more.”

“I did meet Edward Olmos at the 'Filly Brown' premiere, but I was such a nerd. I could only muster out a really quiet 'Hi,' before I turned bright red all over. I definitely got star struck.”

“I did a church movie one time. I think it exists somewhere that I hope to God no one ever sees. I haven't even seen it. My mom's seen it. My mom was in it.”

“Soap operas are like acting boot camps.”

“I always say I'm just eternally grateful for this role because Raven Reyes defies all stereotypes. It's revolutionary for a character on television, and it's also extremely creatively liberating as an artist.”

“Roommate struggles are real.”

“The realm of 'The 100,' it's pretty complicated. I don't know. My mom never knows what's going on.”

“We're a much different generation now, so I think us girls can stand up for ourselves.”

“And even though it's just acting, it's still an experience. It's almost like these memories are real and they are inside of you - because you did live through them in a sense, especially the dark ones.”

“I was very green when I started on 'General Hospital' and it really challenged me. There were times I began to doubt myself a lot.”

“I really didn't even realize I was a hybrid or that my parents were interracial until I was much older.”
