(She also did the motion-capture for the girl inThe Polar Expressand had a role onRocket Power.)
Were you a fan ofThe Last Airbenderbefore your cameo?
Or did you become a fan afterward?I was a fair-weather fan.
Like, I liked the show; I wasnt, like, a stan at the time.
I watched all cartoons at the time.
I was just barely a teenager.
I was like,I could read.
I would just cold read it and they would record me and just send it in and submit it.
I have to get back into voice acting.
Id be going out on commercial auditions or TV-show auditions and then I just read the scripts.
Another one that I was a fan of wasRocket Power,being on thatwas really cool.
Its a good feeling.
Its funny when people act shocked.
It also feels annoying to think that you have to continuously bring these things up.
Like, once every six months, a tweet goes viral about me being inAvatar.
And its like You guys didnt know by now?
Remember when I put out this video?
That kind of gave me that step into that realm from an earlier age.
I started recording music in the studio when I was probably around 16.
I started doing voice acting earlier, probably like, 8 or 9.
It was part of your core experience by then.Yeah, you get more comfortable.
What does success look like to you at this point in your career?I dont know.
Its interesting because I still have these goals, right?
That I really, at least wanted to achieve and, still do: to have a No.
But its interesting how its kind of changed because of the landscape that were in.
So, thats kind of confusing for me at this current point.
So, to me that feels successful.
What else would I do?
Like, sit and waste away?
This is what I do.
So, its really just kind of learning how to navigate within the landscape.
What am I going to do next?
How do I see my career evolving in the next couple years?
My goals have just shifted to more like personal growth than career landmarks.
How has that affected your personal journey?Thats been a journey as well.
It felt like a really critical time to have that kind of discussion.
What was it like creating and working on a set right now?
We just wanted to kind of go through a day in the life.
And to break that fourth wall element.
The drone is actually CGI, so the drone isnt actually really there.
Youre not the first person who said that, so good to know that it was realistic.
Are you considering doing a deluxe edition ofSongs for You?Ive considered it.
Ive done three or four remixes of the songs.
So, I dont know.
I appreciate the project as it is.
But Im also working on new content as well.
The other day you mentioned wanting to collab with Ariana Grande.
How are you approaching collabs?
Im typically not that kind of girl I dont know how to describe it.
I typically keep my circle really small, so its hard for me to be that person.
Like, Im really open and Im nice.
Ill talk to anybody, but its been something that Ive continuously had to work on throughout my life.
So, Ive gotten better during quarantine.
I think having more free time and knowing that everyones in a similar situation [makes it easier].
