I take 'signs' in my life as seriously as advice from family and friends or proven facts. The universe speaks through events, y'all!
— Dove Cameron
I made myself memorize how to spell antidisestablishmentarianism in under 3 seconds when I was 6 years old because my sister told me it was the longest word she knew.
Jessica Lange is my all-time favorite actress.
I think a lot of people think I'm either unintelligent because I'm a very happy person and I have a lot of energy or that it's a fake happiness, like fake energy. I completely understand that because it's a lot to handle, and I am a very emotional human being.
I know I don't look edgy, but I have found that in my personality, I just have this natural energy that I enjoy edgier characters, and I really want a chance to sink my teeth into something like that.
Growing up, I've always been the baby. I'm the younger of two girls in my family, my friends are always older than I am, and I'm a rather small person in stature as well.
Laziness in my biggest pet peeve of all time. Get up, make a plan, do the work, and love yourself, people!
I have a lot of affection to give, and sometimes I'm a little overbearing.
Singing has been a passion of mine, equal to or greater than acting, ever since I was very small.
One of my favorite things about working on 'Liv and Maddie' is the creative environment that has been designed for us by our lovely director, producers, and writers.
It's hard to be a teenager. It's lonely, and you feel like no one understands you. I think that's natural, and my mother let me have the space to feel that way.
I'm very competitive and academic.
Your average teenager can't relate to a girl who casts magic spells. But she does understand someone who is torn about her upbringing and the situation in her life.
It's not like you can say, 'This is the right side and this is the wrong side,' because obviously, a happy person is never going to want to inflict pain on somebody else. So the bullies are really victims themselves and yada, yada, yada, pop psychology, but it's true.
I don't want to have to think about what is right; I want to live right. And what that means to me is going to be different to some of my fans, some of their parents, and some other role models.
I know that sounds dramatic, but shooting everything twice and going through the emotions of two different humans was crazy for me at 16. In terms of my career, that was something that really, really formed me.
'Liv and Maddie' is very near and dear to my heart. I'm very proud of it.
My mother is a poet/novelist, and my father was a pianist and cook. Both artists who colored my personality and brain in ways I'm still discovering!
I had the poster of 'Hairspray' right above my bed. And I had the biggest crush on Zac Efron, of course.
I love women. I love celebrating women.
I would just say that human beings are stronger together. Relying on someone else is not a sign of weakness; it shows strength that you're able to accept that you need help.
'Liv and Maddie' didn't start out as a twin show. I actually played a different character in the beginning, and it was neither of the twins.
My absolute favorite thing about working on 'Liv and Maddie' is my cast and crew. The people that I spend almost every hour of every day with. Your cast has great influence over the quality of your life, and I've been blessed with not just a cast, but a family.
I have been snowboarding since I was seven years old.
There is nothing like the buzz of singing one of your songs during a show and hearing your fans singing with you.
The whole novelty and challenge of playing twins is something that has kept things wonderfully fresh for me. Just the pure joy and freedom of being able to explore so many facets of not just one, but two, different characters at once is a very singular experience.
Playing two people is definitely difficult, but it's made possible by everyone around me, and it's a big team effort.
I love my mom so much, and I always have, but I was definitely a monster to her a lot during my teen years.
Truthfully, I'm incredibly shy, and I'm very awkward around boys.
Kristin Chenoweth had been my personal idol since I was, like, 6 or 7.
I don't know that there's any rhyme or reason to bullying... it's not even the bully's fault, which is why it's such a difficult thing to combat.
My version of a good role model is everything that I have strived to become over the years, as I have a deep desire to live an honest life and give relentlessly and openly to people who look up to me.
I honestly think what skyrocketed me into professionalism was learning how to play two people and still live through the day.
It's very interesting because as an actor, you play a litany of different roles, but to play both of them within the same day multiple times, in quick successions, it's different and sort of a really rare opportunity that I was initially terrified by and a little bit daunted by.
I wore a $30 vintage wedding dress for my 8th birthday in an underground jazz club in Seattle. This was what I wanted.
I had the longest awkward phase. I had braces for 3 years; I cut my own bangs too far back and they looked like a bowl cut, and I broke my nose twice.
This may be a bit of a broad statement, but I don't think there's anyone that I've met that I haven't created a bit of a deep relationship with. It's a really lovely thing to create a relation with people that might not anticipate that closeness. And that's kind of the light of my life, getting to be close to people.
I would love to do Broadway. That was my original aim, when I first started acting when I was 13. I wanted to do stage; I wanted to do musicals.
I'm not a huge party girl. When I turned 18, the thing I was most excited about was being able to vote for the first time.
I haven't grown since I was 13, and every girl cast opposite me isn't allowed to wear heels on camera, for fear that I would look minuscule. In all of the casting calls for my best friends on every project, it says in big, bold, red letters: 'Please no high heels.' It's a little embarrassing.
Edgar Allan Poe, I think he's a brilliant poet. I was actually given a copy of his work when I was, like, 8 years old that was my grandfather's, and I still carry it around with me.
I'm a really big fan of all things macabre in general; Halloween happens to be my favorite holiday.
My absolute favorite thing about working on 'Liv and Maddie' is my cast and crew: the people that I spend almost every hour of every day with.
Sure, they can take your binder, but they can't take whatever special thing you have inside you.
Everything is just so much more romantic and real when it's yours and it's private.
There's no one who, at some point, hasn't had the feeling their life is on the rails and they can't do anything about it.
When I was a kid, I always wanted to dye my hair crazy colors.
I personally believe in progress. I think one of the most debilitating and harming things you can do to a child is to keep them in the dark.
I believe one's responsibility as a role model begins and ends with their perception of what a good role model is.
Broadway was always sort of my trajectory before I found film and television - that would be really tremendous.
