'I can be free to be myself with no judgment'

When talking to Collider, Chloe shared how her sister's work in 'The Little Mermaid' inspired her to take on films of that magnitude. She responded with, "the sky's the limit, you know?" and further added, "the right opportunity will find you. So just like Swarm, I was able to bring my music and tie that in and my love for thrillers and suspense. And even this movie Praise This coming out soon, I got to show me as my bubbly bright self and my performing aspect and things like that. And even with Girl from North Country, which I'm really excited to shoot, I've always been such a huge Broadway head and being able to take Bob Dylan songs and take this Tony Award-winning adaptation and make it into an incredible film, it's like all of the right things are finding me. And what I love is that each character, there's a piece of Chloe in there so that’s what makes it easier to portray and act. And I think that's why I've liked acting more, because it's a place where I can be free to be myself with no judgment because nobody knows which piece of that is Chloe." according to Collider.
