Sabrina Carpenter On Playing Maya Hart: 'She's A Force To Be Reckoned With'

Sabrina Carpenter looks like holiday royalty on the December 2015/January 2016 cover of Cliche Magazine.

The 16-year-old Girl Meets World actress opened up about the show, acting and music. Check it:

On playing Maya Hart: “Something about reading for Maya just came so naturally to me. She’s definitely a force to be reckoned with, but I think that’s the great thing about her. She’s got so many layers. Just through these two seasons, I have learned so much about her and have gotten to do a lot of different things emotionally.”

On her very first role on Law & Order: SVU: “I didn’t really know what acting was at that point, and it took me a couple of years to get started. So when I was around 11, I booked my first role, and it was a much more serious role than I ever thought I’d be doing, but I think that’s what showed me that there was maybe a career in it. That’s the cool thing about being a kid in the industry. You have so much vulnerability and curiosity because you don’t know what you’re doing until you’re a couple years in. But we still don’t know what we’re doing. We’re just pretending that we do.”

On how she grew up while recording her first album: “I learned more about myself in the past two years than I think a human should. But I think it was great because it taught me so much. There’s so much behind things that you don’t understand until you’re actually in the process of making your first album.”
