In an exclusive interview with MEA World Wide (MEAWW), Lizzie Greene spoke about her role in the show and transition from a child actor into an adult on TV. "You definitely have to grow up really fast and gain a mature mindset pretty early on; it is a blessing and a curse to grow up in the spotlight but I look at the bright side — at how much I have learned and how much I have grown [sic.]," said the 16-year-old actor. She added that she's really grateful to be where she is right now and the most special part being when fans come up and say that "they have grown up with me — it's just so special!"

"When you're on Nickelodeon and Disney, you can get branded as a child actress and you have got to burst out of that bubble when you can — when the time is right," said the actor about moving away from her roles on Nickelodeon. Greene is well known for her role as Dawn Harper in Nickelodeon's 'Nicky, Ricky, Dicky & Dawn'. About being part of the cast of  'A Million Little Things', Greene said that the all-star cast was "so incredible" and it's "like going to acting class every day because I get to learn from them and everything."

"We're like a big family," said the actor, who's super excited about season two of the show. 'A Million Little Things' also stars David Giuntoli, Romany Malco, Allison Miller, Christina Moses, Christina Ochoa, Grace Park, James Roday, Stephanie Szostak, and Ron Livingston. The show is created by DJ Nash, who executive produces it along with Aaron Kaplan, Dana Honor and James Griffiths.

'A Million Little Things' season two will air on ABC on Thursday nights at 9 pm ET.
