The 20-year-old also opens up quite a bit to the mag, revealing her frustrations and insecurities with refreshing candor.
Read on for HIGHlights!
On conquering self-doubt: “Like, the way I see it in my head, I should be nothing shy of Beyonc├â┬⌐. But you can’t freakin’ put that much pressure on yourself. That doesn’t mean don’t strive for the best, because you should… Sometimes I need to realize that I’m human. I’m doing pretty good.”
On insecurity: “I hold myself to such ridiculously high standards that if I don’t meet or surpass them, I doubt myself. That fear of not being as good as you want to be can limit you from doing things. I feel a lot of people doubt me in the acting space because I’ve never done a big movie, and that’s why I’m excited about doing Spider-Man├óΓé¼ΓÇ¥I have no preconceived notions about how I’m supposed to deal with it. But I auditioned just like everybody else, and clearly I did something right.”
On her use of social media: “People can really see my personality on Snapchat. I like to be funny and make people laugh. Twitter is where I interact with my fans and get to know what they’re into. I kind of stalk them. I’ll send a little ├óΓé¼╦£Hey, girl’ or favorite their tweet.”
On reading social media comments: “I’m not really a comment reader because what I post on Instagram is about my outfit or my faith, and those are things that no one can tell me anything about. If I like it, I like it. But if I’m posting something that is political, sometimes I do read comments to see what people are talking about and thinking.”
On her friendship with Bella Thorne: “We’ll post things to each other on social media, but we know everybody’s looking at that, so if she wants to talk, she’ll call me or text me.”
