00:00You recently released your first single, right?

00:02Yes, thank you. I did. It's called Kind of Fun.

00:06It's available to stream wherever you stream music or buy if you're old school.

00:11I love to buy. It's really special.

00:14It's something I've wanted to do really since I was little.

00:17When the actor strike happened, I obviously was like so many of my creative peers

00:22and just creatives like having this void of creativeness and missing it

00:28and wrote this song and my boyfriend produced it who is an incredible musician

00:32and we thought, you know, life's too short not to put it out, so it's out now.

00:37What has the fan response been like for you?

00:39It's been really special.

00:40I think it's one of those things where it's so scary to step out of your comfort zone

00:44in any aspect of life and then especially because acting is obviously my first and my foremost

00:49but this was something that felt very vulnerable and very much for me

00:54and so the fact that they embraced that and saw what it was

00:57and didn't say that my voice sounded bad meant the world to me.

01:02Will you release more music, do you think?

01:04I think that's the plan.

01:06Yeah, we've been writing.

01:08Thankfully, I get to do it in the hands of such safety.

01:11My boyfriend is amazing and we just moved houses

01:14and the music studio is now in the house

01:16and so we go in and we play around

01:18but yeah, we have some things up our sleeve

01:21and I'm excited to get to hopefully share that soon.

01:24I feel like you're always so busy with acting projects too.

01:27You always have something in the works

01:28because we're getting more Pretty Little Liars original sin, right?

01:31Yeah, we are.

01:32It's called Pretty Little Liars Summer School this season

01:35which is really fun.

01:37Oh my goodness, our cast and crew worked so hard over the season.

01:40We somehow were able to film through the writer's strike

01:44which was amazing because our writers worked so hard to finish our episodes

01:47and then the actor's strike happened when we had 10 days left

01:50and so we went back in December to finish up summer school

01:53and in my personal humble opinion,

01:56I think this season is bigger and better than ever

02:00and I'm so ready for everyone to see it.

02:02What's it been like stepping into the Pretty Little Liars franchise?

02:06Yeah, like surreal.

02:06You just asked me that and I continue to get goosebumps.

02:09I remember PLL was like one of the first shows

02:12that I realized what it was like to be a fan

02:15when something new comes on every week

02:17and I admired those girls

02:19and now I get to call some of them my friends

02:20and my peers and my lights in my life

02:24but it's an honor I don't take lightly

02:26and it's something that my younger self dreamed of genuinely

02:29and so it's very full circle and kismet and lovely.

02:33We're here tonight celebrating Oscar nominees.

02:35Which movie would you love to see win Best Picture on Sunday?

02:40Can I be honest with you?

02:42This question's tough for me

02:43only because I've had a small tasting

02:46of what it's like to be nominated for something

02:48in a room that's of large scale

02:50and there is so much love and talent

02:53that goes behind making a film

02:55in front of and behind the screens

02:56that I genuinely don't like losers in any capacity.

03:00I think that they're all winners

03:01so I like to see them all go on stage

03:03but there's something special about what Barbie did.

03:07I think more than anything

03:08I think at a time where we're in the world of streaming

03:11and how fast paced things can go

03:13Barbie reminded us that filmmaking is special in theaters

03:16and there is a place for films in theaters

03:18and as someone who started off my career

03:21usually doing films that ended up in theaters

03:24I'm all for things that keep that going

03:26and for women obviously

03:28so I would love to see it.

03:30So in the great Barbenheimer debate

03:32do you choose Barbie over Oppenheimer?

03:35I can't choose!

03:37I mean, yeah, here's why

03:39my hairstylist, the second season of PLL

03:41is the biggest Barbie fan

03:43he collects Barbies

03:44all we did was talk about Barbie

03:46before it came out

03:47and then when it came out

03:48and so I feel like if he's watching this

03:50I have to say Barbie

03:51so Barbie

03:53You're somebody who we've seen grow up on screen

03:57I feel like you've been in front of the camera your whole life

03:59we've seen you do so many different types of roles

04:01what's something you haven't done yet

04:03that you'd love to do in the future?

04:04I love that question

04:06because that is like the question of my year right now

04:08I was just having a conversation

04:09where I was like

04:10I'm in this stage of life

04:12where I genuinely want to push myself

04:14and go out of my comfort zone

04:16and kind of cause some havoc a little bit

04:19and commotion

04:19I haven't been able to do

04:22something that requires

04:23like an actual action suit of sort

04:27and I don't know why

04:28but that's on my bucket list

04:29I would love to dive into that

04:30and then I love an indie

04:33I really think that movies are made so beautifully

04:36when it's condensed

04:36and when everyone's there to create for art

04:39and not necessarily for a box office or a number

04:41and they hold a lot of heart

04:44and I don't know, richness

04:46so looking for something that gets to strip back

04:49all the commotion

04:50and just human to human share a story
