Read excerpts from Yara Shaidi’s interview

On turning 18, voting, and what that means for the future: “Even when you reach voting age, there are so few resources that are non-partisan in which you can develop your own political opinions. My ultimate goal is to turn the passions and interests we have into policy change.”

On being a vocal advocate for diverse representation in the entertainment industry: “I’m in no way trying to be the face of blackness. The goal is to open doors, role by role, and be drowning in a sea of people who look like me, or like someone else, so anyone can see themselves reflected on screen.”

Read excerpts from Issa Rae’s interview:

On her gratitude on what success has enabled her to do: I’m happy and grateful to be in a position where I can want to see something, and then support the people who are telling stories I want to see.

On keeping her private life private: I get so much feedback about everything. The one thing I don’t need feedback on is who I’m sleeping with.”

Excerpts from Riley Keough's Interview

On Choosing Her Acting Roles: “I really have to love it. I don’t care if I do one or two movies a year and not 10.”

Excerpts from Sophie Turner's Interview

On Becoming Engages To Joe Jonas—And How That Won't Affect Her Carrer: “I’m still like, Holy sh*t! I’m engaged. There’s this weird misconception that being married is the greatest thing that’ll ever happen to you. But I’ve always found that my career is something I work for, and when I achieve something, there’s a sense that this is the greatest thing I’ll do in my life. It’s lovely to be engaged. Not like I achieved anything, but I found my person, like I’d find a house that I love and want to stay in forever. There’s a sense of peace that comes with finding your person. But there’s a drive that comes with your career.”

Excerpts Katherine Langford's Interview

On How Selena Gomez Encouraged Her To Connect with Her Fans Via Social Media: “I want to be able to talk to them in a way that is helpful. But I need to give myself the time to be who I need to be.”

On The Best Part Of Going Home To Perth, Australia: “I like going out in outrageous costumes and weird makeup. Being in the public eye, you get robbed of your anonymity, then if people take photos of you dressed a certain way, it suddenly becomes your image. The wonderful thing about going home and having balance is that you gain freedom over yourself again.”
