Zendaya Talks Disney, Having Power & More for 'Vogue' Cover!

Zendaya is on the cover of Vogue‘s July 2017 issue!

The 20-year-old actress spoke about a variety of topics with the mag. Here’s what she shared…

On negotiating for Disney’s K.C. Undercover: “I wanted to make sure that she wasn’t good at singing or acting or dancing. That she wasn’t artistically inclined. I didn’t want them to all of a sudden be like, ‘Oh, yeah, and then she sings this episode!’ No. She can’t dance; she can’t sing. She can’t do that stuff. There are other things that a girl can be….I want her to be martial arts�trained. I want her to be able to do everything that a guy can do. I want her to be just as smart as everybody else. I want her to be a brainiac.”

On responding to Giuliana Rancic’s Oscars dig: “I went to my room, gathered my thoughts, and wrote something down, which is what two teachers would have wanted me to do.”

On having power: “A lot of people don’t realize their power. I have so many friends who say yes to everything or feel like they can’t stand up for themselves in a situation.” She is now pounding a fist on the dining table. “No: You have the power.”
