On her PLL costars:
"I?m so close with each of the girls for different things. Troian is my go-to when I want advice on something. She?s literally like her character?so smart. Lucy is so cute and southern. We joke around a lot on-set. And Ashley is like the fun, carefree little sister who I never had."
On inspiring others:
"When I was in high school, I wanted to be a counselor and I wanted to work with kids. I?ve been through the worst of high school. And I want to motivate people to live the best life that they can, because we?re only here for one life."
On what she wishes she knew when she was 17:
"Growing up, I wish I hadn?t tried so hard to fit in. I?d tell myself to just embrace what you were born with because it?s beautiful and you were made like that for a reason. It?s tough being a girl. I think we need all of the support we can get."
