I sing; I started my career at 9 years old in 'Les Miserables' on Broadway.
I had to have my first kiss in front of, like, a hundred people. I didn't know what to do. So my sisters told me to, like, practice on a pillow, you know? But it didn't kiss me back so I didn't know what to expect.
It's more fun if you can control things like lighting and make special effects in the darkroom.
The judgment, criticism, and rejection you face as an actor can be overwhelming.
We always do a white elephant gift exchange on Christmas Eve, but my mom always gets really nice gifts for it. And we hang out in our PJs on Christmas Day.
This is my dream. I've been doing this since I was a kid, and I've been blessed to work and be a working actor, and there's not a day that goes by that I'm not thankful for that, but my priorities have definitely shifted.
When you become a mother, it's a common thing that you just want to put every ounce of your being into your child, which is a very beautiful experience.
Being a parent can be overwhelming at times, but it's something we're figuring out as we go.
Everyone can relate to being bullied. Everyone can relate to wanting to fit in and being part of a clique.
I like shopping, and I like to drive.

My biggest project is being a momma!
Do what you're passionate about.
I always wanted to entertain. When I was little, I would sing in front of the mirror with a hairbrush or my sisters and I would make shows. I always wanted to be on TV.
I was raised cooking my grandmother's food, my mom's recipes.
I don't want to be a 'teen star' because so many people don't ever grow out of that.
My family has always called me 'Lay Lay,' and my dad used to always call me 'Dynamite Termite' because I was really short and small and I hated to be still. I would never stop.
I like to take pictures of lots of things: people-such as my nephews, my dogs, and just interesting objects that I see. For instance, I might take a picture of flowers by the side of the road, an old sign or a fence.
I need to decide whether to apply for college or delay it for a couple of years while I pursue some more acting projects. Right now I'm trying to sort things out, so I can make the right choices.
We did a remake of Lost in Space. Filmed it in London for four months.
