Quotes
“My brother, he’s literally the most stylish person I know. Ever since I was a little girl, that’s something that we always bonded over.”
“The older I got, I progressively got more and more comfortable with trying new things and being more adventurous with [dressing].”
“At the end of the day, [your clothes] are the way you’re presenting to the world. It can be whatever you want it to be. There’s literally no limitation as to what you can wear and how you can wear it.”
“This generation, we’ve all had some sort of awakening in terms of what we know we deserve and what we want in terms of acceptance. That also translates into judging yourself less and daring to wear stuff that maybe wasn’t meant to be worn the way that we’re wearing it. It’s such a cool feeling to get to experience how this freedom in ourselves or in our sense of identity has allowed us to express ourselves in a different way that feels way more allowing.”
“I feel like there’s always something so beautifully light hearted about going to set and giving into love. Always telling Latino stories is what moves me the most and what makes me the happiest to play as an actor. It was really important for me that I started taking on roles that felt like it moved me in some capacity.”
“Shooting One Fast Move was such a special moment for me. It really did make me so happy. I felt so fulfilled in so many different ways that it was such a dream come true. Everybody involved— our director Kelly Blatz, our lead KJ Apa, Eric Danes— everybody was so incredible. It was just a constant learning experience and I felt so honored to be a part of it.”
“I love acting with my whole heart, but music is who I am and it’s the most vulnerable and the most personal thing I’ve ever done. I really am equally as terrified and excited for people to start listening to it all.”
“When I was a little girl, I always dreamed of being Hannah Montana.”
“I could not identify more with my Argentinian side now. I speak Spanish in my day-to-day life. I still live there. It’s honestly what’s kept me grounded all of my life. Speaking in Spanish and being home feels so nurturing to me.”
“Whenever I’m really anxious or whenever I’m really nervous, the first thing to go is my voice.”
“You’re exposed to not only criticism and all the things that you know you’re exposed to whenever you embark upon this career, this journey, but it was also a lot of people who feel like they had the power to comment on who you were as an actor, as a human, and as a performer.”
“Getting to find myself amidst everyone’s opinion of myself was really tough. I feel like I’m a little bit bulletproof after that. I mean, don’t get me wrong. I get really sensitive. I’m a Cancer. I don’t really take criticism really well when it’s coming from a place of hate, to be honest. But, I think I’ve really grown into accepting who I am.”
“I’m a super sociable person, and I used to feel like I needed that as fuel.”
“I think in that loneliness and in that mental noise and turbulence that I was going through, it made me connect with myself in a way that I’d never allowed myself to.”
Maia Reficco has a lot of potential and aspirations she has yet to show to her fans. Let’s all wait for her to venture more into the limelight and showcase her many skills.
