Rachele Brooke Smith quotes:

I grew up in Phoenix, Arizona and was a very competitive (and stressed out!) gymnast before getting into entertainment, but it was never the actual gymnastics that was my true love. I loved the performing aspect of it all.

I also think there's something about dance, music and the arts that transcends all other types of communication and expression.

I am very active on Instagram and love connecting with people there.

I feel so blessed to get to live out my dreams, and I want to help others live theirs.

I love having a little bit of bronzer of some sort and I love looking golden.

I really grew up more of a people pleaser and I just wanted to make people happy, and maybe didn't always say exactly how I was feeling.

I want to create amazing art and content that inspires people to want to be the best versions of themselves everyday, and never let anyone (even themselves) hold them back.

I would always wear basketball jerseys and have my hair in a ponytail.

Never allow yourself to break, and always remain unbreakable.

Now when I get auditions, I choose to believe that I am an amazing actor.

A lot of people have so many issues like depression, obesity or chronic illness that has to do with gut health.

As an actress, you get to basically be your character.

Ever since I was young, I have wanted to help others live happy, healthy, fulfilling lives.

Every new skill you learn, every adventure you go on, every new thing you try, it only makes you a better artist.

I barely slept during high school because I was too busy dancing and acting all the time. The plan was to go to my dream college that had one of the best performing arts programs, and then go to LA to follow my dream of being an actress.

I believe that we live in a "return to sender universe" - what you send out is exactly what you will get back.

I do a lot of motivational speaking for young performers and kids who really want to get into acting and performing. I always say, to be as versatile as possible, because you never know which skill is going to help you get a role.

I don't believe in dieting, but I do believe in the lifestyle that you want to live.

I don't think people realize that what we eat and your stress levels impact the way that you look. Not just your body, but your face and your overall well-being.

I get really bored really easily, so I'm a big believer and advocate of changing it up. One day, I'll do a power yoga or hot yoga day, and then go into a more intense day of HIIT training or boxing. I always have a bit of dance in there too.

I have always been interested in giving back, and I wouldn't want to know a life without giving.

I know for a fact that I am not as fulfilled, happy or passionate about life if I have not spent time helping others.

I love life and people, so I guess I want to help anyone I can live the fullest, most wonderful life possible.

I love to just be super nerdy.

I love to make people laugh, and do things that are surprising and different.

I never wear matching socks. It's kind of a thing that I have!

I really do believe that inner beauty is so much more than any kind of outer beauty.

I wanted to act, dance and perform more than anything, and I wanted to do it for the rest of my life.

I would love to play more nerd roles, as well as action hero roles.

I'm definitely somewhat of a tomboy. I grew up a pretty big tomboy actually, and was really obsessed with basketball.

One of my favorite things is when I get letters and video messages from fans or people who have attended one of my workshops that say things like "because of your workshop, I finally have the confidence to go after my dream/love myself/have the strength not to listen to anyone telling me I can't do the things I really want to do!"

There are so many people I look up to and I try to watch some sort of video or interview every day, with an artist who does inspire me.
