Quotes
“When I was 18, I moved to Los Angeles to attend UCLA.”
“I always wanted to make a pop record. I’m a dancer myself, so I want to make something that people listen to and just want to dance to.”
“I took vocal lessons all through my childhood and still do. I was classically trained.”
“I always loved Belle from ‘Beauty and the Beast’. I always thought I looked like her, so I dressed like her for every Halloween.”
“My family is everything. They love me unconditionally.”
“These are really exciting, but yet really polarizing times right now in our country and in the world. We see that reflected in gun violence and violence in general. And I hope — I see that with people that are in this room — this young generation has become so empowered … I really hope for peace. I think that’s what the world needs more than anything right now is just to stop seeing color, race, gender — all these things are diving our country and just using our voices, voting, and coming together.”
“The first “Descendants” was my first movie. It changed my life and I fell in love with Evie and [loved] being able to tell her story. We’ve become such a family and working with Kenny [Ortega] and everyone is always a dream.”
“I don’t remember a time where I didn’t just love performing. I was a little girl dressed as Belle or some Disney princess twirling around in my house singing, dancing and acting.”
“I’m so lucky that I get to do it all every day of my life and that I have roles like Evie, which give me the opportunity to sing, to dance and to act. I hope to do what I do for the rest of my life.“
“Growing up I was [a typical] daughter – obsessed with Beyonce, J-Lo, Lizzie McGuire – all these incredible female role models. I grew up with really incredible, strong women as my mother and grandmother, so strong female women were always an inspiration to me.”
“I thought, ‘If I’m ever lucky enough to be able to do what I love, I want to be that [inspiration] for other little girls in everything that I do, everything that I say, every role that I take on and every song that I release.’”
“It’s very close to my heart to make sure [everything I do] has an empowering message for the 16 year-old daughter out there who I know is looking at me and [who my actions] could impact in some way.”
“As girls, we can do anything and be anything and no one should stop us. I want them to know that the most important thing in the world is to be beautiful, but that beauty comes from our hearts.“
Sofia Carson filled her life with exciting things, joy, and productivity. No matter how hard the condition is, she always keeps going.
