“I was the weirdest kid in this small town in Washington. I was the only person who was from somewhere else, so I think they just didn't understand it... They said I was a weirdo or that I didn't belong there. That was the hardest one when people said I didn't belong there.”
“My skin really reacts to stress.”
“There were nights I was at home crying, thinking I'd never make it. I'd get up the next day and go to the audition, do my best, and try my hardest.”
“I start off by cleansing with the Biore Baking Soda Acne Cleansing Foam. I've tried so many different acne products and what I love about this one is it's very gentle and won't dry your skin out, all while keeping acne in check.”
“I've always been a performer.”
“My mom put me into my first play at five at a local theater, and the next day after my first practice, I was like, 'This is what I want to do with my life.'”
“From the ages of 5 to 17, I was a competitive dancer. I even went to an arts high school and double-majored in dance and theatre.”
“I don't like looking like a crazy person in my seat with a mask on, so I go into the airplane bathroom, put it on for a minute, and then I'll wash it off. Once I'm out of the bathroom, nobody even knows I did the mask, but my skin does!”
“I'm really happy to bring bisexuality to TV because you don't see that often on television, especially with women.”
“I'm a firm believer in reading actual books.”
“The people who are bullying you, they're insecure about who they are, and that's why they're bullying you. It never has to do with the person they're bullying. They desperately want to be loved and be accepted, and they go out of their way to make people feel unaccepted so that they're not alone.”
“I try to use my platform for things that I believe in and for things that would have helped me when I was younger. I try to keep everything really positive, which is why I made a YouTube channel, to integrate fans more into my life.”
“I love Halloween. I love Thanksgiving. I love Christmas. I love New Year's.”
“We had South African accents. I was a vegan. I was raised without religion. I was just the weirdest kid in this small town, so I got made fun of a lot for it.”
“I'm super weird about my lips. I actually don't let makeup artists do my lipstick. I know my own lip line. I feel, even, they go too much over my lip line or too much under my lip line, and I don't want my lips to look strange on camera. I'm very particular about my lips.”
“If you love what you're doing, it doesn't feel like work.”
“It's hard for people to differentiate between a character they see on television and a person who plays the character.”
“I want makeup to be more about freedom of expression. If I want to put on makeup and make myself look different, I can, but it's not a standard for every single day.”
“Sunglasses were my accessory of choice, and I always had an abundance of pairs.”
“My favorite lip balm is, weirdly enough, just a little tube of Aquaphor. It's clear, and it will keep my lips glossy and perfect for hours.”
