"I’ve always chosen the most competitive and most difficult careers — that’s kind of all I know. Being a dancer is the same thing. You’re auditioning. You’re working really hard to achieve that goal as an artist. With modeling, you’re auditioning. You’re putting yourself out there. So acting was just another venue, but the most difficult one to actually achieve and to actually work because it’s much more cutthroat. But I was used to it because I had already been auditioning through dance and modeling so I knew that aspect of it."

"It's an honor being part of the Star Trek family. Like I said, the fans are phenomenal and loving and supportive. So I feel very lucky to be a part of it, and being part of the sci-fi world has opened so many other doors for me."
