and we're having a great time.

But, you know, I grew up very different than this and I'm happy to have those roots.

I'm still figuring it out, but I do know a lot.

To be like an LA person.

You lose anonymity.

You know, like I've completely lost that.

I've lived, you know, pretty much in the public eye since I was 10 and probably around 15 was when I feel like the world started getting very, like, interested in what I was wearing, who I was dating, what I was eating, where I was, like...

That was an interesting kind of thing to navigate where I feel like I lost some serious innocence, you know, where you're just like, oh, my God.

And then you get a lot of people constantly talking about your life and seeing it on the cover of magazines and all of that stuff.

Like that was a really strange period to live.

also be like forming as a person privately and some of those like lines get blurred where you're like I'm I am this but I am this and I you know I think I've lost a lot and I think I've gained a lot like I wouldn't change it but I've become very tough like it's it's not a it's not an easy it's not an easy industry hmm

And I think it's not very easy for other people to deal with you in this industry.

I think it looks very like shiny.

And for other people to cope with how it looks is a tricky thing to navigate.

through all of it, you know, navigating people is like tricky and that's not, it wasn't like all negative.

I think I had like a great time being a child actor.

I had a great time like turning into a pop star, like, but it is not easy behind the scenes.

And there's so much that goes on and, and ways that you feel out of control.

And, and now I'm,

I have my own life and my family and my family that I've created.
