My biggest hobby is airsoft, which is similar to paintball. Essentially, it's military simulation, but the guns shoot plastic BBs. My friends and I go out in the woods or the desert and play all day long!

I'm thankful to say that I already have my dream job. I wouldn't trade it for anything.

I definitely feel like kids do look up to me as a potential role model. It's an honor, but it can also be a burden. I may be on TV, but I'm also a teenager. I don't get it right every time. But I always do my absolute best to stay above board in every way. My fans inspire me to be a better person.

My favorite thing about acting is that I can play all kinds of different people. Frankly, I don't consider myself a very interesting person, so the characters I play are usually much more fun.

The fans sing my name around the world. When I meet fans, they ask, 'How are you? All good with your family?'

My mother, who is a Carnatic musician, started a school for children when I was around three, and I grew up listening to her teaching students.

In the South, everyone speaks, if you know each other or not. I'm raising my daughter more Southern, like how her father and I were raised.

You know it's very important, the role of a mother... I don't know, but it's feminism to me to love your kids.
