My mom told me that it was important for me to spend time with him. I’m sure it was hard, but she took it like a champ.

Spending some of her pre-teens and teen years growing up in Miami:

Those are really strange years—that weird in-between place between being an adult and a kid. I associate my time in Miami with that. Miami is so beautiful, you have that to fall back on when everything else is falling apart because you’re 13 and confused. You can go to the beach and lie outside.

Maintaining a close relationship with her famous parents.

It makes things so easy that my parents are still very close, they have so much love for each other. My dad and my step-dad [actor Jason Mamoa] get along really well, and my dad loves and is close with my brother and sister. It’s really beautiful. As long as everyone can be in the same room together, and have love for each other, it’s totally healthy.

Being grateful for the exposure to a life in the limelight before embarking on her own career:

I can’t imagine what it’s like for people who come from very normal lives and all of a sudden become famous. I’ve been lucky enough to dip my toe in it and feel the water before I got in the pool.

Dating:

I don’t have much of a type; the most important thing to me in a relationship is that they can make me laugh and I can make them laugh. Laughing is just the deepest, sexiest thing.
