favorites."]
Children's Book: "That would have to be The BFG by Roald Dahl. I love that book. I will
always read that book. [The book] takes you to a place where it's so amazing. I mean, you have this little
girl, Sophie, who's traveling everywhere, and then you have this big, friendly
giant who takes you to a whole new land. So it's just a book full of adventures
where they have crazy words for things. When you drink soda, the bubbles don't

Stunt(in Spy Kids):"I got to go on the edge of this cliff with an 800-foot drop in Spy Kids
2. It was really scary because the rock that we were on was very loose, but
it was a perfect shot. They had to literally strap me to the rock so I wouldn't
fall off. I had to wear a harness, but what they were scared of was that the
rock would fall if there was too much weight on one side. So we had to balance
all the weight out so that nothing would happen. It was so beautiful up there.
It was one of those things that you'll never get to do it again because you
wouldn't have the proper equipment for it—do it now, this is your chance. As
soon as I got up there, I opened my arms out. It was so cool because you could
feel the wind. It was around at 7 a.m. and it was beautiful out there. I got to
see all these eagles flying. It was one of those things that you only see in
movies or in dreams and it was actually coming true, so it was really neat. It
was really beautiful."

Video game she'd like to be trapped in: "It's called Dead or Alive, and it sounds very scary but it isn't. It's like a
wrestling game but it's like a Japanese version. It's really cool. The reason
why [I like it] is I love Japanese food! The characters are really awesome and
the characters and scenarios have different things going on. Like in one
scenario, it's winter and you can snowboard and stuff, and another time you're
in pure sun and in paradise. I think that would be nice!"
Alexa likes to teach kids: "I love teaching kids things. Any time I'm at my little sister's
school, I always volunteer. I know all the teachers there and they're really,
really nice. I'm like, "Can I come into your class one day?", and they're like,
"Sure!" So I come into class all the time and I get to read to them and help
them out on their math problems. It's great!"
How she memorizes all those lines: "Normally we do a couple scenes a day. They can either be really long scenes or
really short scenes. It just depends on the kind of day you have. Let's say it's
a really long day that you're having. Well, you might have to learn up to 15 or
20 pages of dialogue, which isn't a lot. People are like, "That's so much! How
do you memorize it?" But really, I don't even have to look at it for five
minutes and it just sticks there. I guess it's just second nature now because
I've been doing it since I was 4. I was basically taught, "You read it a couple
times and you should have it by then." I've just developed something that says,
"I've got it!" But, you know, it's not that hard, and I definitely think that
reading has a lot to do with it. I actually think reading lines helps you read a
book easier because you learn not to memorize each page but to understand it a
little easier. You grasp certain things that people wouldn't grasp."
How she describes the boys on SK3:"Okay, I'll start with Ryan Pinkston—my little Sweet 'N' Low. He's the sweetest
thing, but everyone thinks he's like 9 years old, but he's really 15, so I
called him Sweet 'N' Low. Robert Vito is too cool for me. Let's put that one
down. And um, Daryl, um, your typical little brother."
On meeting fans: " I met so many people. One, because we did a world tour, and the other we went
to different malls, autograph signings. It was very exciting because the kids
are like, "Oh my gosh, it's so great to meet you" and I just consider myself me.
I'm a normal kid and it's just kind of weird but exciting that someone looks up
to you so much. That's why you have to set a good example, make sure you're
always being humble and grounded and that's something I get with a big family. I
have four sisters and since my dad's not here anymore, we're all girls. We do
pretty good."
