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.
