I think I was 10 when I did my first community play, and then I started booking bigger roles in these plays, and people were telling me and my parents that I was talented. And I was like, 'Well, this is something I wanna do.'

It's never really been my intention; I've never gone out of my way to be relatable to anyone. I just say what I want, and I'm pretty blunt about things.

I'm not grateful for depression, but it honestly made me work harder and gave me the drive that I have to succeed and to make it work.

When my skin is breaking out pretty bad, I try to leave it alone as much as I can. I don't want to pack on product after product, I think that makes it worse and kind of overwhelms your skin.

Going to Comic-Con was mind-blowing, seeing all these fans and all these people who know my name.

I developed slight body dysmorphia - when I would break out, I couldn't look at myself in the mirror for a couple of months at a time. I remember doing my makeup before school in the dark, which is an awful idea, but it's because I didn't want to see myself in that bright light.

Our Betty Cooper is still the girl next door - she literally lives next to Archie. And she's the blonde all-American girl; she's so sweet and forgiving, gives people the benefit of the doubt and second chances, wears her heart on her sleeve. But she's also incredibly broken on the inside, for many different reasons.

I definitely have had fights with best friends. Some of them have led to me and said friend not being friends anymore, but it always turned out to be for the better. I think if you fight with someone, and you can just never reconcile, that just goes to show that maybe you shouldn't have been friends in the first place.

Some people say the things I do are annoying because I'm intentionally trying too hard to be relatable, but I'm really not.

The world that we've created - of 'Riverdale,' and of this town, and of these characters - are so vastly developed. And we're diving so deep into them that fans are just really gonna die for it.

I'm the kind of person, if I don't like you, unfortunately you know that.

I really would like to be on Broadway someday.

I can't say I've watched 'Twin Peaks.' I feel like I wouldn't be comfortable doing so until after I'm done with 'Riverdale.'

I never had a huge circle of friends, so I really just tried to cherish and not take for granted the close friends I did have, who were really supportive and understanding.

I actually didn't go to prom. I didn't have the chance.

No one's forcing me or any other celebrity to take time out of their day to say 'Hi' to these fans or do these things. It's just something we do nine times out of 10 because we love and appreciate our fans.

I just hope to keep doing film and TV and eventually Broadway. It's definitely what I want to do for the rest of my life.

I remember being in middle and high school and hearing Demi Lovato speak up about her mental illness, and that was comforting.

I have anxiety.

There came a point when I called my mom, and I was like, 'I need to come home. I'm not OK. I'm not good right now. My mental health isn't good.'

I've seen a therapist at different points in my life for different reasons.

Yes, we as actors are so appreciative of our fans, but there comes a point where, if we've been working all day, we don't owe 100 percent of ourselves to anyone, and that shouldn't be expected.

I really look up to Ashley Graham and how she promotes her body and flaunts it. She's beautiful and stunning, and I'm not going to say I love her body on Instagram and talk about it poorly in my personal life.

The first time I moved to L.A., I was there for five months, and my health got so bad because of how depressed I was.

What you want, what feels good to you - it's all going to change with every partner you have.

Being a young woman in Hollywood is intimidating.

I remember growing up and seeing Vanessa Hudgens' Bongo campaign in magazines. I think I probably put a few of her posters on my wall, to be honest. I wore Bongo growing up, as did my older sister - I would get her hand-me-downs as well as my own new pieces when I went shopping.

I journal a lot for nobody but myself. Just to get my thoughts out and to clear my mind. That's very therapeutic to me.

I use an acne cleanser. I've always had that St. Ives apricot scrub. But I have bad skin sometimes.

There's a definite rift in 'Riverdale.' There's a civil war between the Southside and the Northside. And Jughead being on the Southside and Betty's on the Northside, it becomes a bit of a 'Romeo and Juliet' situation.

I've had social anxiety forever - I don't thrive in social or party settings.

People post things on Instagram that they know people are going to like.

My everyday look is casual, and I try not to wear makeup if I don't have to. I'll cover a zit with a little concealer, but I don't wear foundation on a daily basis. I maybe fill in my eyebrows.

Sometimes people will approach me on the street and ask me very personal questions about my dating life. Fans talk to me like they know me, and it's like, 'You don't know me. You know my character, but you really don't know me.'

I want to be relatable. I want people to know who I am, but that doesn't mean you get to know everything about me and my life. I think that there's a fine line.

I moved across the country when I was 16, so I left my high school and finished school online in order to pursue my acting more.

I grew up one of three girls, and none of them were into comic books, so I wasn't exposed to that world.

I feel like every time I tweeted something that was a little opinionated, or every time I posted something on Tumblr that seemed a little private, it's all of a sudden making news relationship-wise.

In my life I've gone through a lot of really hard times. I went through depression and had so many challenges that I overcame. And I overcame because I just decided to be happy.

Life is designed to knock you down. It will knock you down time and time again, but it doesn't matter how many times you fall - it matters how many times you get back up.

Love who you are, embrace who you are. Love yourself. When you love yourself, people can kind of pick up on that: they can see confidence, they can see self-esteem, and naturally, people gravitate towards you.

You need a really solid foundation of friends and family to keep you where you need to be.

I am not looking for a relationship right now. I have no interest in putting my time or effort into another person, nor do I need another person to put energy into me, OK? Because that's what granola bars are for.

Honestly, I just wear what makes me feel good. So many people come up to me, and they're like, 'Did you know you're a tomboy? You should try wearing dresses.'

There's no escalators - there's only staircases to success. There is no substitute for hard work.

A big part of depression is feeling really lonely, even if you're in a room full of a million people.

Happiness is the only thing worth fighting for in your life.

After a long day at work, I want someone to come home, turn on my video and think, 'Oh my God, how girls get ready? This is hilarious. I love this; I'm forgetting about all my problems.'

My creative process is a bit manic at times, to be honest. I wake up Monday and Thursday stressed because I don't have a video. I usually - with the exception of maybe a handful of videos - wake up, write the video, shoot the video, edit the video, release the video all in the same day.

The sad reality is that girl-on-girl hate is such a big issue in schools, at work, or online, and it never made any sense to me because, as women, we know how awesome other women can be.
