I tend to have a lot of guy friends.

I was never a dancer before 'Shake It Up'.

Don't try to impress people. Always be yourself!

I really love big scarves. I have a whole bunch.

I like clean-cut, very proper, very elegant looks.

I'm always on Instagram! I'm like an Instagram stalker.

I'm not a boy band kind of girl. I like hip-hop, I like R&B.

Acting isn't a side thing - you have to live and breathe it.

I've been dancing all my life, but I never did it seriously.

I believe that anyone can become better,if you put in the effort.

I think that everyone has the power to make a change in the world.

I don't think people realize how much work it takes to make an album.

I always finish off my look with a spritz of Vera Wang Pink Princess.

If someone is trying to bring you down, it only means you're above them.

To me, being Latin is about more than your looks - it's how you're brought up.

I never saw myself as a singer; I never really thought I had the voice for it.

I love Michael Kors! I also love Miu Miu shoes - they're fabulous, I have so many pairs.

Dancing inspires my music. Having your girlfriends all together and just being free and happy.

I'm a relationship girl, I like relationships, so I just miss being in one and chilling. And not dating.

My secret is one the world needs to know - nearly a billion people a year die from unsafe drinking water.

I want people to look at my films and say 'Wow, she's a good actress', and I know I'll have to work hard for that.

Everyone suffers some injustice in life, and what better motivation than to help others not suffer in the same way.

I'm in the studio for hours in that tiny little box, and really, the performing part is what I'm most excited about.

You always just have to be the best that you can be. And if you know that in your heart, then that's all that matters.

Start going to bed earlier! It is a tough adjustment when you have had a summer of staying up late and waking up late.

I practice reading all the time. I read everything and having so many scripts to read, which really helps out as well.

Maria Canals-Barrera is Cuban and from Miami and I'm part Cuban and from Miami, so needless to say she became a quick friend.

I love pointy nails! A cute way to add a pop of color to your nails is to make a V-shape at the ends of them in a pastel color.

Music is a big part of my life. I listen to different genres, and I choose the music that will inspire the next part of my story.

I feel like girls always deserve flowers; it's just a nice thing to do. If you want to make your girlfriend smile, send her flowers!

The Humane Society is so great to work with. Because everyone there is so nice and supportive, and they're all animal lovers like me.

I think everything about my life is magical. I've struggled, and against most odds, I'm truly having the experience of living my dreams.

I do have many of the same friends I grew up with. Most I've known since we were three or four years old! I have made new friends as well.

I think that everybody needs somebody to really look up to and know that even though you're going through a tough time, you'll get over it.

My big break was becoming the spokesperson for Texas Instruments. Casting directors really started giving me a chance to read for projects.

Partying at a club is very different than when I'm throwing a party at my house. My party's a rage. People rage when they come to my house.

I know that some girls look up to me for certain things, like dyslexia, and that way I know that they like me for me, so it adds no pressure.

I don't want to be that girl who has that same style all the time where the music always sounds exactly the same, and you always know it's her.

My makeup artist, Tonya Brewer, taught me the importance of moisturizing daily. Hydration is a must if you want pretty, dewy skin - which I love.

I think the best advice came from Drew Barrymore, about always finding love in everything you do and keeping a positive attitude and being thankful.

I'd like to help other kids with dyslexia, because I'm dyslexic. It was very hard, and I know that what I went through, other kids are going through.

My dream artist to play at prom would be Frank Ocean. 'Thinking Of You' is one of my favorite songs. He makes really sweet music for slow dancing at prom.

I don't have to try to be perfect because I know that my fans like me for who I am. They like me because I am weird and kind of funky, but still really calm.

I have to work extra hard because I am dyslexic. People said that I couldn't be an actress, but I'm proving them wrong. Acting has helped me overcome the challenge.

I like "As Long As You Love Me" and "Boyfriend" by Justin Bieber. It gets you moving - you just can't help it! And "Teach Me How to Dougie" gets Zendaya and I every time.

I'm really into tall boots. I just got some new ones from Michael Kors that have these little gold studs. I have Valentino ones that I really love. Real, real tall boots!

I like 'As Long As You Love Me' and 'Boyfriend' by Justin Bieber. It gets you moving - you just can't help it! And 'Teach Me How To Dougie' gets Zendaya and I every time.

I want to keep making movies, hopefully with some nominations, if I'm lucky! Movies that make people feel something, where they walk away and say, "Gosh, she's different."

My family was absolutely supportive. I did have a fear of cold reads because of my dyslexia, but my family's support and reading classes really helped me overcome my fear!
