It's the scariest thing in the world, going to acting class, because first of all, there's a lot of pressure. I just go back to being that fourth grader who couldn't, like, sit still in her seat.

[Affordable prices] are important to me. My mother lets me know [if something is too expensive]. With a few dresses, she's, like, That's too much. But Mom, it's $59.99. It's too much. And then I go back and we talk about price points. My family keeps my grounded.

The one thing I cannot tolerate in life is seeing people being taken advantage of, I cannot tolerate it I can't even see it in a movie.
