Chrissie Fit quotes:

My grandfather left Cuba when Castro came into power and literally left everything. He had two suitcases and two kids and showed up in New Jersey and waited for my uncle to meet up with him. Imagine - there were no cell phones back then!

I would do a 'Pitch Perfect 29', where the Bellas take on the Spaniards instead of the Germans. All the girls would have to learn Spanish. I'll teach them!

My first song, 'Just Becuz,' was co-written by the awesome Baby Bash.

I was invited to a dinner party by an ex, and I was convinced that he wanted to rekindle our relationship. I prohibited my friends from coming with me because I didn't want to make it awkward for them when he professed his love to me.

I never thought I'd get [a 'Pitch Perfect 2'] audition because the film was just so massive.

I'm Cuban. Both my parents are Cuban. My grandparents are, too. Although I have no idea where Fit comes from.

I was teased up until high school about my hair, being short, my high pitched voice, and just anything you can think of.

I sang throughout school, and it was always my passion. For whatever reason, acting took the front seat, but all of the projects that I've been doing seem to have some sort of musical element to them.

I am kind of being a little selective in what I do, so it takes a little bit longer, but it's worth it in the end.

I don't feel the need to have to break out of anything or prove that I'm 'edgy.' Been there, done that mentality. I'm just ready to tackle on new projects that are challenging and help me continue to grow as an artist.

I was afraid of the dark until I was, like, 15 and slept with a nightlight.

My family is very creative. My grandfather played the guitar in Cuba. My sisters, my mom and two aunts would do harmonies, so I would see them and think, 'I want the attention.'

I was singing before I started acting. As a kid, I would always perform at the big family parties.

Sometimes you need a good laugh, and then there are times when you need a good cry.

I know a lot of a cappella groups, but none of them are doing backflips while singing, for sure.

For whatever reason, acting took the front seat but all of the projects that I've been doing seem to have some sort of musical element to them.

As a kid, I would do all of the plays at my school, and I was notorious for being in five numbers in one show. I'd go onstage, run backstage for a wardrobe change, and then go back out onstage. I'm always trying to do more than I should but when I got my lucky break (or whatever it's called), I was prepared because I studied and worked really hard for it.

Because I also write, I really admire Latinas who are creating content. That's the next step. We can talk about seeing more Latinas on TV all day long, but it's about what we can do to make that happen. Women like Eva Longoria, Sofía Vergara, Jennifer Lopez, and Salma Hayek are producing a lot of great shows that feature Latinas. Those are the women who inspire me because they're not just acting; they're creating for the future.
