ladybug88: How old are you?
Miriam: I turned 15 this summer.
hypergurl7: How did you get into acting?
Miriam: I�ve been dancing all my life, and when my dance school offered acting classes, I signed up for them. Our acting teacher told us about an open call audition. I went, and I got the part. That producer gave me the name of my current agent, who sent me to the Degrassi auditions. From there�well, you know the rest!!!
Kittypaw: What type of music do you like, and what are your hobbies?
Miriam: My hobbies are swimming and every type of dance (ballet, jazz, tap, hip-hop, etc.). My favorite music is always changing, but right now I really like Shakira.
Alvin: What sports do you play?
Miriam: I play tennis.
Ashanti626: Do you have a boyfriend?
Miriam: No, I don�t have a boyfriend�..now!
lildevil08: What do you like most about being on the show?
Miriam: I most like meeting all the people on the show and getting to live through Emma�s experiences.
hypergurl7: Do you get along with everyone else in the cast?
Miriam: I get along really well with everyone.
kaceypaige: Do you get angry on set when you're acting and you make a mistake, or when someone else makes a mistake?
Miriam: No, I don�t get angry when someone makes a mistake, because we all do.
fla: This August, I'm going into Junior High. Is the first day really like the one in your episode?
Miriam: My first day of Jr. High wasn�t as bad and scary as Emma�s. No one picked on me. I just made new friends from other schools!
CountriQT: How do you feel about your character? Do you wish she could be different, and do you have anything in common with her?
Miriam: I like that my character is strong-willed, smart and trusts herself. I think Emma might be better if she didn�t jump to conclusions so quickly, but she and I both have strong opinions and like to stand up for what we think is right.
TulipSweet: Were you embarrassed when you had to do the episode "Coming of Age"? There were boys seeing you having your period. I would have been sooooo embarrassed!"
Miriam: When I first read the "Coming of Age" script (where Emma gets her period) I was embarrassed, but then I thought about it and was proud of how Emma dealt with it. So instead of feeling embarrassed, I was pleased that it gives a strong message of not being ashamed of yourself.
sofia9922: Has your life changed by making this series?
Miriam: My life is basically the same as it was before Degrassi, only now I get recognized everywhere I go.
