“For a long time, I said I didn’t want to model. I was a dancer.”

I love Rihanna. I think her style just pushes a lot of boundaries. My tomboy side takes inspiration from her.

Sometimes I Google myself just to see what people are saying. But we all do that. If someone tells you that they don’t, then they are lying.

Acting is in my family. My cousins, my sister, and I always say it’s a legacy that should be kept alive. In the future, it’s something I really want.

My style kind of differs – sometimes I want to be a little dressed down, a little tomboy, sometimes I want to be dressed up and very chic and look proper. But I don’t ever believe in overdoing it for day-to-day style.

You can blame my mom for some of my worst fashion moments. She used to dress me and my sister in a lot of patterns. Like, she would put me in striped stockings with a floral dress. Like, why are you doing that to me?

I wasn’t bullied by the mean girls in high school. I’m just bullied by adults and teenagers all over the world.

All my tattoos except my first were not planned. I would just go into the shop late at night with friends and ask for something on the spot. My first is my parents’ wedding date. I thought it would soften the blow of getting a tattoo.

I love New York. It’s hard to explain, but it’s the energy of the city. It’s not like L.A. where everything is spread out.

For me, I like to be a little bit tomboy but still look like a lady. Pretty tough. Or really, really, really pretty.

I am obsessed with John Mayer. I love him. I just think he’s so talented. I have his documentary in my iTunes. I watch it all the time.

I always try to keep one very feminine quality to my style.

I would never pose topless.

I love making shorts out of jeans, or customizing denim. Basically, I like to rip and distress things… I love that look.

I think trying to maintain a classic pretty style is the way I like to go, like Margot Robbie’s style.

I genuinely do think that skin does have a lot to do with genetics. I was blessed. You should see my mom and grandma – it’s unfair!

I think that God kind of put me in the place in my life to not be quiet about it, not be quiet about Him, but to reach people and to inspire people.

That’s a traditional Samoan dance. I was lucky that I was able to fly my cousins, who are professional dancers, up from Hawaii and they were able to be in the movie with me. We had a great time.

Dancers are the messengers of the gods.

We look at the dance to impart the sensation of living in an affirmation of life, to energize the spectator into keener awareness of the vigor, the mystery, the humor, the variety, and the wonder of life. This is the function of the American dance.

I get up, I fall down, all the while I am dancing.

Dancers today can do anything; the technique is phenomenal. The passion and the meaning to their movement can be another thing.

Dance is the body’s poetry.

You will only get out of a dance class what you bring to it. Learn by practice.

Great dancers are not great because of their technique, they are great because of their passion.
