On Air interview
Seacrest interviews Thorne during On Air With Ryan Seacrest about her role in the film The Duff.
It’s really just about being put in labels and boxes and I think everyone in this room has been put in one before. It’s kind of just about saying, ‘OK, those are just words and I can do whatever I want, and I’m still going to be the biggest, coolest weirdo that I can be. If you’re a kid and you’re going through a tough time and you feel a little out of place, that out of place-ness becomes the beauty later. Because people look for originality later. So if you’re having a hard time, hang in there. You’re going to be the jewel soon.

Seventeen cover
Thorne appears on the cover of the June/July 2014 issue of Seventeen magazine. She talks about her ambitions, her boyfriend, and her co-star Zendaya.
The truth is we are so different, there is no competition. And when people tried to compare us or turn us against each other, we’d just talk about it, and then everything was cool. We love each other.
