- [on playing Anita King] The voice that I used for Anita is not my normal voice; my normal voice is really high pitched. Anita and I have two totally different personalities. Anita is sort of a tomboy with magic powers, she's super smart and is like a parent trapped in a 13-year-old body, and best of all, she's got pink hair and there's a whole tale behind it! I'm 12 years old, I like reading and Anita hates books, I like piggies and she likes frogs, and I'm definitely not a tomboy!
- [on voice acting for anime dubs] I have been recording Japanese anime for about two years now, and I've realized it is really fun, yet harder to do than most voice overs. It's harder because the words have to match the flap of the character's mouth to make it in sync.
- [on playing Sara in My Real Mother] This is an opportunity to really tell the story and really show what it's like. And I want to really honor that and the people who do choose to adopt, people who have been adopted. I just want to represent it correctly.
