What do you do in your free time?

I play basketball with my brothers. I just spend time with family, really, because as soon as I get free time, they’re all that I really think about and all that I really want to do. Me and Sky [Katz, who stars as Tess] when we get free time on the set during lunch, we always play basketball together. I love drawing — that’s something that I’ve always really liked. Not to say I’m very good, but I like drawing a lot.

How does it feel when kids look up to you?

Oh, my gosh, it feels really crazy. It’s so weird because I’ve looked up to girls who are my age when I was younger who are on Disney Channel. It’s crazy to think that some kids think the same as me. And also at some times it’s like, not pressure, but almost something on your shoulders that you feel like you need to carry yourself in a certain way because you know people are inspired by you, and that’s so amazing. And I think girls can be inspired, girls and boys can be inspired by that.

Which celebrity inspired you first?

So many, really. Like honestly, Disney Channel always inspired me to become an actress because that’s the first thing that I saw, watching Disney Jr. and all the fun shows and “SpongeBob” and “Phineas and Ferb.” Those are all cartoons, but that was when I really realized that that’s what I wanted to do. That’s what I thought was fun, and it got to the point where I was like begging my parents to put me in acting classes. So there wasn’t ever a specific actress, it was always just multiple actresses who I loved and admired for their craft and their personalities and for how they carried themselves and how successful they were at such a young age.

How do you handle the haters?

Oh, that’s a good question. It’s weird because people that you don’t even know will find something to say about you. And that’s really hard, and online bullying is just as bad as bullying in real life, because people who don’t know you are saying things about you that if they haven’t met you, they can’t really tell who you really are. I deal with it by kind of ignoring it. I’ve got great parents and my guardians who help me ignore that and who monitor my accounts, and so if there’s any negativity, they can handle it, and I can choose to handle it if I want to.

We know that you worked with celebrities like Nicki Minaj. Do you have a favorite person like her that you would like to work with?

Some actresses that inspired me were Viola Davis and Meryl Streep. I think I’d want to have people who are part of other Disney Channel shows and movies to come work with us in “Raven’s Home,” because how cool would that be to have like crossover episodes and cameos in our show of other people who have been on Disney shows?
