86 || CELEBRITY MAGAZINE || MAY-JUNE 2017spread such hate, are probably dealing with their own issues, and it makes them feel a little better to tear you down. It%u2019s not personal! Do you!!One of those passions include gun control which you tapped into, voicing real life victim, Claire Wilson in the animated testimonial, Tower. Can you share with us a bit of what it was like to work on this project and immersing yourself into this senseless loss? Being a part of Tower is something I wouldn%u2019t trade for the world. I have always been an extremely peaceful person, advocating for gun control and putting an end to world violence, and working on this film reaffirmed all of my beliefs. I portrayed Claire Wilson who was the first person shot in the shooting. She was 8 months pregnant, and both her boyfriend and unborn baby died while she survived. She is an inspiration in herself. Her feelings towards what happened to her are so unique and honest. She has never carried any hatred for the shooter, but instead dedicated her energy and time into working towards stronger gun control laws.Let%u2019s talk about Milo to lighten things up a bit. Tell us how this little furry chicken nugget became your rabbit.OMG he%u2019s so cute! I%u2019ve always been a dog person and I%u2019ve never really thought about bunnies as real pets (like most). I was on Pinterest one day and saw a homemade bunny hutch and I was like, %u201cI need to make this.%u201d So you can say I got a bunny, because I wanted to build a little house and needed something to put in it! Turns out, rabbits are a lot more like cats and need a lot from their owners. Now I try to advocate for parents to not get their children rabbits as pets unless they%u2019re prepared to take care of them.From demonstrating your directing/editing/acting chops on Eyelid Kid, watching Fixer Upper to DIY%u2019ing your own furniture, tell us something about you that we can%u2019t find on the internet.Something a lot of people don%u2019t know about me is that I was raised Quaker. It is a very interesting religion, and doesn%u2019t have any one specific deity or god, but focuses on following the five principles of simplicity, peace, integrity, community, and equality. Because of that, it attracts all types of people! You can be a Christian Quaker, a Jewish Quaker, etc. Pretty cool!Lin Manuel Miranda wrote in his award-winning hit play Hamilton, %u201cWhat is a legacy? It%u2019s planting seeds in a garden you%u2019ll never get to see.%u201d At this very moment in your young career, what do you hope your legacy will be?When I meet people, I just hope to spread a little more love. Little acts of kindness can go a long way and if we all put a little bit out into the world at a time, we can begin to heal.Photo Credit:Ryan Westw w w.ryanwestphoto.c om
