Quote

I was actually supposed to be a basketball player, not an actress. My parents had me playing basketball on competitive teams when I was in kindergarten. Even though my heart belongs to the arts, I'm a tomboy at heart, too.

Well, I am not sure of when my album will be released but my music has a lot of different sounds. I'm a hip-hop/R&B girl at heart, but I love pop music as well, and I even have an affinity for country music. So I would say my music might have something for everyone.

I have an obsession with just watching people and what they're into.

The price point and the quality are very rare. I don't want people thinking, I got the look for less. I want them thinking, I got the look!

Social Media has now become a part of our culture - you are either a part of it, or you ignore it.

Every day when I'm thinking about something or want to do something, I say, Hey, can we shoot some stuff? or Hey, can you come with me to the grocery store? or Hey, can you... Just so I can share my personality and who I am, and also use it as a platform to do bigger, more important things.

I get to represent a lot of different types of women because of my ability to transform into these different people.

I've always dressed myself, even when I was younger. My parents didn't pick out my clothes or anything. They let me do that, which I think is an important thing because it allows for kids to experiment and figure out what they like, even at a young age.

Other than the obvious, like Cher and Diana Ross, I actually find a lot of inspiration from time periods. So it's not necessarily people, it's the essence of the time period, whether it be the '90s or the '70s or the '40s. The specific time and what vibe it gave you, what the emotion of that time was, and trying to get that emotion again.

I do not believe in a label on a shirt or a dress should tell me that I can't wear a T-shirt or a pant because it should say women'sor men's on it, you know? That's just not how it should work.

It's so hard for women to be happy for one another, like genuinely happy. Once you find that, you know you've found true SELF happiness.

I want young people to know there is no age limit to when they can start their own business or when they can become a boss.

I couldn't choose between all of those things! I looooove acting and dancing on Shake It Up, and I am currently in the recording studio working on my music. And one of my dreams is to walk down the runway during fashion week!

I use my platform for more than just myself. Art is a reflection of human emotions. To neglect the political is to neglect what essentially is your job of storytelling. I would rather be known for the content of my character than for the project that I did.

I have a job that allows me not to look perfect all the time. I can just go looking the way I look, have my hair just any old type of way.
