Actress Chloe Grace Moretz insists she won't be treated as though she's a "puppet" in Hollywood.
The 19-year-old actress won't be taken advantage of in Hollywood just because of her young age and insists she will speak up if there needs to be a change, reported Femalefirst.
"If you hire me, you're not going to get some little girl that's just going to sit there and be this puppet for whatever you want to push on society and appropriate.
"There have been moments where I've read scripts and said, 'Look, this has got to change. It's not like you're being a bigot, but it's literally that it doesn't even click with you because you don't deal with it. But it clicked with me and I'm telling you, as a young woman, this is what has to change.'"
And the "5th Wave" star wants to be loved and accepted into the lives of her fans because of her talent.
"I want to be America's sweetheart. I want to be be loved. I want to be an indie queen, but I want people to really love me and what I've done and let me be a part of their lives at home.
