'Shake It Up' definitely teaches kids about the importance of reaching for your dreams and setting high goals. It also teaches great lessons about friendship and family.

When you're put in a position to really affect young people who are going to run the world one day, if you're able to be in their life at a young age and make a positive impact, I think that's a beautiful thing.

Doing and making positive programming for young people is so important to me, and I will keep doing it.

I realized that if I don't like something, I can change it. If I don't feel comfortable with something, then I have a voice to say it's not cool.

What is cool today is not going to be cool tomorrow, and what wasn't cool yesterday is going to be cool tomorrow.

I have parents and family who will never allow me not to be grounded. If I thought for a second that I could possibly lift off the ground, I have a thousand people who will grab my ankles.

A feminist is a person who believes in the power of women just as much as they believe in the power of anyone else. It's equality, it's fairness, and I think it's a great thing to be a part of.

Let's practice motivation and love, not discrimination and hate.

One of my dreams is to walk down the runway during Fashion Week!

There are so many great things in life; why dwell on negativity?

I would say that 'Shake It Up' was a chance for me to do two things I really love: acting and dancing.

I'm not good at a lot of things. I am not good at keeping my room clean. I am not good at eating healthy. I am not good at sports anymore. I used to be! Not so much anymore.
