Jenna Ortega

Maybe it\'s because of my chaotic lifestyle, but I find myself really drawn to a more minimalist, neutral aesthetic. Oftentimes, I\'m away from home, so I need things that are comforting, relieving, and relaxing; clean.

When you\'re a young actor, you don\'t get very glammed up. Except, I remember the first time I had a photo shoot when somebody did actual makeup on me. The makeup artist told me that it looked like I had a dirty face because of my freckles. I just thought, Oh, I don\'t know how to take that. I also remember glitter being everywhere.

I\'ve always had respect for goth culture and fashion. And oftentimes they\'ll shave or bleach their brows so that they can do whatever shapes they want. Brows are so big on the face. I feel like you could really make yourself look different and interesting in doing something like that.

When I work, I get really distracted, so I\'m bad at taking care of myself then to be quite honest.

I know a lot of people recommend to not wash your hair too consistently, but I have very fine hair and I get buildup really easily.

It\'s the way I connect with people on set or form bonds, or even make friends, really. I try to find the music nerds.

I can never just have a perfect middle part unless my hair is professionally done because my baby hairs like to fight me!

I know the feeling of growing up and not being able to relate to the people onscreen or never really seeing myself.

As a child actor, there are two jobs that you can get: you\'re either the younger version of someone or you\'re playing somebody\'s daughter - and there were just not many leading Hispanic actors who I could be that for.

I told my mom that I wanted to be the Puerto Rican version of Dakota Fanning.

I have the same process every morning. I brush my teeth, wash my face, shower, get dressed and then I\'m pretty much on the go. I might have coffee. I might not. I might just wing it, and that\'s that.

I have really, really bad anxiety and it feels like it can be debilitating at times.

One of the main challenges I\'ve had balancing my work life and my personal life is I never felt like I really assimilated very well into either one.

It\'s so funny, I used to say that I wanted to bleach my eyebrows. I think it looks psychotic a majority of the time, which is why I love it so much. You look insane in the best way possible.

I like making people feel things, and I hope that the projects that I do in the future do that.

The first time I watched \'Paris, Texas\' was the first time I was emotional over a film. It\'s just aching with vulnerability.

I delete Instagram from my phone probably twice a week.

It\'s weird, I\'m not a very social person, but I also want to be as sincere as possible in all I do.

I really want to be doing indie films or passion projects.

My parents put cleats and shin guards on me as soon as I could remember.

Eyes are a really big thing for me, so mascara is pretty up there. Every time I buy mascara, I grab a different one, just because I like seeing what\'s new.

I\'m actually really sensitive to scents. If they\'re too intense, it can be overwhelming for me.

I used to do a Disney show when I was younger. I was a little bit of a public figure, used to get recognized, or whatever. When I look back, I think I was so out of place.

When I went into \'Wednesday,\' I really put my foot down and made it clear that everything that I had to say mattered and was heard.

I wasn\'t born in a Spanish-speaking country, I haven\'t spent a lot of time in Mexico and I\'ve never been to Puerto Rico - so there\'s a feeling of not being worthy enough to be a proper representative.

I love taking on new endeavors.

Music is a really big thing for me and something that kind of helps me de-stress. Whether it\'s background music or I\'m singing and dancing along. That\'s so much fun and so good for me.

Oftentimes you get that question, \'If you could play any character in the world, who would you play?\' And I always say, \'I don\'t know exactly who that would be. I just know that they would be written by Charlie Kaufman.\'

The scent of Gris Dior makes me feel confident. As soon as I put it on, I feel the urge to go participate in life and hug people. It\'s wonderful.

I feel like a lot of families are mixed in one way or another.
