On getting involved: “I am Global Ambassador for Stomp Out Bullying. I was bullied for my dyslexia, and I still get bullied now. This needs to change. Hundreds of thousands of teens think of suicide because they’re being bullied, and it shouldn’t happen. Bullying is a big issue and I’m always concentrating on it because it continues to happen. I’m also an ambassador for Disney’s ‘Friends for Change.’ As my passion project, I am wanting to build my own cat sanctuary with the help of a few pet companies. There is also “The Thirst Project” where they travel around the world and build a well for a community in need. I’m really looking forward to getting involved with that. I also support DoSomething.org and recently participated in their Staples for Students campaign.”
On her music: “Definitely singing. I want to get it rolling and get my music out to my fans. Dancing’s great – I love it, I’m good at it, but singing you have to work harder at. The main talent that I will always stick with is acting.
On the bag she loves right now: “My green monogram Louis Vuitton I got for Christmas. My mom usually buys me stuff with pink and bows, so I was really happy about all the green and how it is different from all of my bags. Right now I can’t live without my packet of medicine from my recent ski trip. I have the worst allergies!”
