I wasn't thinking that I was two horrors back to back; I was thinking these were characters that I want to play.

I'd love, love, love to do a comedy. I can't imagine being on set and being happy and cheerful. That seems so foreign.

It's awesome when people respond to your movie and love it.

It goes without saying that it's important to vote.

I grew up with horror. My dad loves movies, and he passed a lot of them on to me. There's something so fun about them.

To this day, I haven't seen 'Jaws.' Because I was always in the ocean, when I was a kid, my mom said, 'See the movies that you want to, but I'm telling you, do not ever see Jaws.'

I used to be a professional kiteboarder. People were like, 'Oh, my God, are you scared of sharks? Are you scared of injuries?' You can't be scared. If you're scared, then you can't do it. You can't train to be the best.

I went from living in the Dominican Republic - every day, my mom and I would cook, or we'd go hang out with the kids - to flying a private jet to Chicago with Zac Efron and Dennis Quaid. People had champagne, and they were going to these amazing restaurants. It was a culture shock. It's important, I think, to have that. To see both sides.

There are a lot of times where, filming 'It Follows,' I'm fighting against a guy dressed in a green suit for special effects, and I'm just like, 'No. There's no way this is going to be pulled off.'

I started kite boarding when I was 13. My dad was a kite boarder, and I begged him to teach me until he finally agreed. He made me wait because it can be dangerous.

I'm working on a movie called 'Labor Day' with Kate Winslet while still balancing kite boarding. Being an actress and an athlete is a challenge, but I'm excited to see what happens.

When I was living in the Dominican Republic, the local kids became a part of my family.

My goal is to continue to act and still be a professional kiteboarder.

I've seen so many scripts, and I want to do everything. Like with kiteboarding, you have to be fearless. I'm not scared.

'The Shining' scares me so much.

I don't look at myself as a Scream Queen, and I don't plan on continuing on this genre route. If anything, I want to go very different places.

My dad took me to see James Brown live, and that's so cool, cause I don't think many people my age can say they saw James Brown. I'm pretty proud of that. That's the thing about me that no one really knows. I had to have been 6 or 7, but I remember it vividly.

To be honest, you don't get the full picture when you read a script.

I enjoy roles that are quite physical.

If I met Jack Nicholson, I would probably get a little flustered. Not going to lie. I've watched his movies since I was so young. Such a fan.
