Representation is everything.

I just want people to be inspired - not only young girls but young people in general - and I just want them to know they can do anything they want to do, and they are beautiful, and they are smart.

I would want to go back to the civil rights movement and see how that was. With the information and knowledge I have about it now, I would want to see how I would deal with it.

I had a fear of being too tall because my dad is very tall, and both my sisters are very tall. And they're drop-dead gorgeous, but I just didn't know if I, as Storm, wanted to be 6 feet tall, 'cause I feel like that's pretty tall.

To work with Miss Oprah has been amazing. To have her in my corner and inspire me and uplift me has been amazing.

I think '12 Years a Slave' really helped me, as a person and as a student, to grow.

I just went up to my mom one day and said, 'I wanna be on TV. I wanna be a superstar!' Since I know this is my passion, and I feel like God chose this career for me, I just knew I was ready to do it.

I'm gonna take this world by storm. Pun unintended.

I just feel like, with growing up and having peer pressure and what society wants you to be and what you think you should do, I feel like it's really important to surround yourself around good, understanding, amazing people that actually love you for you.

I think my family does a good job of letting me be a regular teenager, which we all need.

Representing young black girls and giving them hope and the light and letting them know that they can do anything is important to me as a little black girl, too.

I hope I get to work with Ms. Meryl Streep. She's so brilliant, great, and gracious an actress and person. I would love to work with her.

I feel like I'm a really artsy person. I love to tie-dye shirts and bake and just do nerdy and fun stuff.

Diversity should be forever; it should be a normal thing.

I didn't think I would be 14, or 13 at the time, and be a lead in a role, but I think everything happens for a reason.

I would love to keep playing roles where I get to inspire young women, and I get to uplift them and tell their stories and tell important stories that haven't been told.

I never saw a little African-American girl saving the world. So to be able to be that for not only myself but girls who look like me is really important and inspiring. Unfortunately, we don't see ourselves saving the world a lot, and if we do see any type of superhero, that person usually has superpowers.

I feel like it's important for young African-American girls - and all people - to read books that tell our stories and watch movies that tell our stories and do the research on our own, too, because sometimes that's not being told, and we're not being seen and shown.

To be able to be a good actress and portray other people's stories, you have to be true to yourself.
