Quotes

“Now, in the acting world, you see a lot more of the “all ethnicities” roles out there. I see more of my fellow Latinas rising up, and that makes me very proud. There are not as many Hispanic leading ladies out there as I would like, but I want to help change that in the future.”

“I am blessed with the opportunities I have been given and I am extremely proud of where I come from. I would not have it any other way.”

“Stopping and taking a moment to realize how blessed you are changes everything.”

“The way I interact with the world—my work, interacting with people, decision-making—comes from a place of love and light. Especially when it comes to talking about politics, current events, and social justice. I speak out in a positive way out of a place of love to bring people together in discussing important issues without hatred.”

“I delete Instagram from my phone probably twice a week. I try to stay away from it as much as possible, but it’s hard because now it’s how young people connect. The important thing to remember is that social media isn’t real and so much of what is being advertised isn’t authentic or necessarily the best for your well-being, so you have to take social media with a grain of salt.”

“I am so fearful of disappointing the people in my life, or even people in public. I want to live up to people’s expectations, which is something that I need to get over, but I’m also scared that, I don’t know, maybe someone will get to know me too well and realize that I’m not all that.”

“I don’t like to play it safe creatively. I think it’s important to take risks as an artist and in life.”

“I listen to absolutely anything. I know everyone says that, but sometimes I’ll listen to stuff that I don’t even think is good because I just need to understand.”

“I think it’s critical to remember I am just a teen who is continually evolving and forming every day, and there’s so much I am unsure about.”
