I’m so excited! I found out I was sitting behind Shia LaBouf and that makes me even more excited.

I’m presenting but we’re not rehearsing till the actual day of the show.

What are you most looking forward to?

Shia, I really like him, I love him. I met Duane Johnson today. I was excited to meet him too, but I met him already today now.

How do you feel about getting slimed?

I’m not getting slimed! I’ve gotten slimed before and let me tell you it’s not something that I want to happen again.

What does the slime feel like?

Like slime, like icky stuff. I thought it would be cool, but the way it sticks to you it’s like slimy and it’s hard to get off. It’s like slimy, it’s like beast, especially when it get it gets in your hair.

Is the slime edible?

The Australian kind is edible and made with apples, yogurt and good stuff, but not the American version of slime, I don’t know why.

What do you like to do when you’re not working?

I love to chill out at home and talk to my friends. I like to write in my journal and talk on my phone. My phone is my connection to everyone and I like to have parties with my friends sometimes. My parents got hotel room recently for me and my friends to hang out and watch movies and stuff.

Are you home-schooled or go to public school?

I’m homed schooled unfortunately since I moved to California from Chicago in fifth grade.

What do you miss about public school?

I miss the kids because I’m a people person and like meeting new people and talking to people, by myself I can’t turn around and talk to myself, that would be weird.

Dream role?

To play Alia. I  loved her and think her story should be told.
