00:00In so many ways, I feel that I am like Eleven.

00:03She's very strong and I try to channel that inner strength that she has.

00:22The fans are going to love this.

00:31My parents always let me be who I want to be.

00:33I'm very outspoken, very loud, very opinionated.

00:35At school, I was bullied by a group of students.

00:38I remember feeling helpless.

01:01I was auditioning for commercials for anything, really.

01:05I then auditioned for Game of Thrones and I got a no for that.

01:14I read somewhere that you got your American accent from watching Hannah Montana.

01:18I did, I did.

01:19That is true?

01:20Yes, absolutely.

01:21Really?

01:22Yeah, because I watched Bugsy Malone and Godfather when I was like eight.

01:30This is CIA-sanctioned research.

01:39That's where it came from?

01:41Yes.

01:42And the girl?

01:43She came from far.

01:46306 girls, I think, auditioned for Eleven.

01:50900 boys.

01:51I just thought, I'm not going to get this, but luckily, I mean.

01:54I've learned so much and grown so much on this show, especially in height.

01:59When I started this show, I think I was 4'9".

02:02And now I'm 5'4", 5'5".

02:05It's a big change.

02:17Alexa, close the blinds.

02:19No, the drapes.

02:20Does it understand your brain?

02:21Alexa!

02:22Alexa, close the blinds!

02:23The lighting's going to be terrible.

02:24Alexa, stop!

02:29It's a bit too bright.

02:44I will speak out for the millions of children and young people

02:47whose voices have been silenced for far too long.

02:51Yeah, I'm 14.

02:52I'm getting on, you know?

02:53My back's starting to ache.

02:54It's a little much.

02:56I might retire soon.

02:58I don't think I've honestly gotten better at the red carpets.

03:14I think I still kind of have a mini panic attack inside just because it's always very

03:20people screaming your name like that.

03:31I feel amazing and look amazing and better yet I've used clean ingredients.

03:49It's gross and it's true and so I think it's just a very

03:57good representation of what's going on in the world and how young girls are sexualized.

04:01I love you. I hope you get all the answers you've been wanting to know and I hope you enjoy it.
