Dove Cameron

Growing up, I've always been the baby. I'm the younger of two girls in my family, my friends are always older than I am, and I'm a rather small person in stature as well.

I honestly think what skyrocketed me into professionalism was learning how to play two people and still live through the day.

I'm never not planning for my future house. Most of the files on my laptop are devoted to different rooms in my dream house. I'm embarrassing.

I know that sounds dramatic, but shooting everything twice and going through the emotions of two different humans was crazy for me at 16. In terms of my career, that was something that really, really formed me.

I had the longest awkward phase. I had braces for 3 years; I cut my own bangs too far back and they looked like a bowl cut, and I broke my nose twice.

If you think about the people trying to hurt you, rather than just trying to hurt them back, you can understand it has nothing to do with you.

Playing two people is definitely difficult, but it's made possible by everyone around me, and it's a big team effort.

At school, I felt out of place. I was bullied. I would think, 'These kids don't like me, they don't accept me,' but I felt like in the entertainment industry, I would fit in.

When I was a kid, I always wanted to dye my hair crazy colors.

Liv and Maddie' didn't start out as a twin show. I actually played a different character in the beginning, and it was neither of the twins.

I don't want to have to think about what is right; I want to live right. And what that means to me is going to be different to some of my fans, some of their parents, and some other role models.

It's very interesting because as an actor, you play a litany of different roles, but to play both of them within the same day multiple times, in quick successions, it's different and sort of a really rare opportunity that I was initially terrified by and a little bit daunted by.
