Seventeen cover
Mota appears on the cover of the October 2014 issue of Seventeen magazine. She talks about why she started her Youtube videos, growing up digital, and advice to girls trying to find a place in the world.
You have to be your own motivator! A lot of teens say they’re bored. Before I got on YouTube, I’d say the same thing. But there is always something you can be doing. If YouTube isn’t your thing, maybe it’s a sport or something else you’re good at. There’s always something you can be the best at – you just have to look for it.
Bethany Mota interview
Seacrest interviews Mota during On Air With Ryan Seacrest about performing on Dancing With The Stars.
It’s scariest right before because the audience is all like excited and I’m like trying to hear the music. That’s the scariest part, is right before I perform. Once the music starts, then it’s so much better. I can really just get into it, but those few seconds right before is where it’s hardest. There’s some moments mid-routine where my eyes start watering and I forget what I’m doing. I just hope for the best and my body just takes over. I haven’t told Bethany that before, but you know.
