fashion world attention
The attention from the fashion world is something that I didn't expect. I've shot with Bruce Weber and met Karl Lagerfeld. Having that kind of attention is really exciting.
puberty
I genuinely hit puberty before everyone.
sports athlete guy
I feel like every woman, and actually any guy who hasn't played that many sports, you secretly wonder, like, 'Would I be a pro athlete?'
football beer games
You can go super American and get barbecue and beer and be like, 'Whatever, I'm watching a football game.' That's exactly what I'm going to do.
vintage jeans littles
I always have Aquaphor which is just for like chapped lips, especially in the wintertime when you're traveling a lot. That's just the worst combination of things. And always a really good pair of jeans. Something vintage-y, a little loose and boyfriend-y, but not over the top. They're just comfortable but could still be dressed up or down.
moving people parent
When I was 14, a lot of people said, "She's such a good actress, she loves theater, she looks like a woman, she should consider moving to L.A. and trying to do this professionally." My parents were hesitant, but they would take me.
fun attitude silly
Pop music is great, but there's a lot of BS about the attitude of guys being super-gangster - that's why the whole thing is silly. It's making fun of itself. That self-awareness is why people enjoy it. It's refreshing.
people quality video
One thing that I've found is that people could relate and see different qualities in the video that they enjoyed. That wasn't something I was necessarily expecting.
california meetings has-beens
The movie industry has been contacting me. I have been auditioning - that's actually why I am in California. I was here meeting with studios and auditioning.
world
The world should not be exclusive of the ideal body. It has to include all ideals, all bodies.
thinking parent lucky
I basically had the same body when I was 14 and that was weird. But I think I had really good parents. I got really lucky.
sarcastic attitude people
On whether Blurred Lines' video is sexist: I don't. I really appreciate the people who watch out for that stuff, and I'm sensitive to those sort of things. On the surface level, the naked women dancing, I understand that can be perceived that way. But we're directed to have a sort of confidence, a sarcastic attitude about the whole situation.
beach people burritos
I grew up eating street tacos and burritos on the beach, so I like people who can eat and aren't afraid to show it.
interesting
A selfie is a sort of interesting way to reclaim the gaze, right? You're looking at yourself and taking a photo while looking at everyone.
