  • guys, this is memories, You're really digging up some stuff right now.

  • Home.

  • Hi, teen vogue.

  • I'm Dove Cameron and today I'm going to be sharing something like bursts.

  • I first thought when I woke up this morning, probably like a nonverbal anger because I think I woke up to the, whenever someone rings the bell outside my house, we have a like an old fashioned phone that rings upstairs and it's so loud and it woke me up because my boyfriend is getting picked up to go to the airport and I was so mad.

  • That's usually my first thought in the morning is just like mad about being awake.

  • I feel like I turned that around by making sure I have two hours before I have to go anywhere, which never happens.

  • But if I, if I happen to be jet lagged and I wake up two hours early, I have time to like have my coffee and listen to music.

  • Music usually does it for me journaling to intentionally journaling.

  • The first app I check when I wake up is I have to alarm apps because I always sleep through my alarm.

  • So that's, that's the first one.

  • I check I'm 100% nightowl.

  • I like the morning though.

  • And so if I had my druthers, I would only sleep for like three hours a night and be able to function because I like the night and the morning and I resent that I have to choose.

  • My first cd was Elvis greatest hits, john dabbled in this guy.

  • Like that was my still my, still my stuff.

  • I love Elvis.

  • I remember the look of it.

  • It was gold with little white dots writing out the word Elvis and I had a little portable walkman because I was still just a few years before this generation had a little portable walkman and that like little like foam ear headphone and I used to sit on the top bunk in my bed and Elvis was my boyfriend.

  • The first vacation I ever went on.

  • That's hard because vacation probably somewhere in India.

  • I was always traveling.

  • I was traveling at like the very first time that you can bring someone on a plane.

  • I was on a plane.

  • We went to like Corolla, which is a beachy part of India.

  • Um, not like a big main city, but I honestly don't know like that's a question for my mom.

  • I think my first word was dad, my mom's at home.

  • Like what I mean?

  • I feel like that's pretty basic.

  • My sister's first word was flower, which I think is so much cooler.

  • But also it's sweet.

  • I love my dad.

  • My first best friend was a girl named Haley Burns.

  • We met when we were in preschool and we were like inseparable, we lived with each other.

  • You know, it's like that time when you don't have memories, but we must have just like bonded so hard because in all of my childhood pictures, I'm always holding hands with this little girl Hayley.

  • First time I was on a film set as a lead role was this really early Disney channel movie I did called Cloud Nine and I was 16 when we filmed it, which like, that sounds like a normal age for Disney, but it's really quite young to be a lead in anything.

  • It was bizarre.

  • I mean, it felt comfortable, like I've always felt like a very social person.

  • I made so many friends.

  • Like it was such a bonding like summer camp, the experience.

  • So yeah, I didn't really think much of it.

  • I feel like I'm much more self conscious now than I ever was in the beginning because now I'm like, oh, I don't know if something happens where you're like, I have to keep this up versus like here I am just doing my thing.

  • You know, I should try to get back to that.

  • Other people who know this better than me are going to know this better.

  • But I think the first ever carpet I attended was the Monsters university carpet.

  • That sounds wrong to me.

  • But maybe it could be the first time I was recognized in public was at the grove.

  • Um, and it was the day after my first red carpet and it was this man who had followed me there and brought like a stack of glossies of pictures of me that he found on the internet for me to sign to go from like being the day before.

  • Like totally shy, unknown, never imagining you just like your whole life just like normal, normal, normal.

  • And then all of a sudden this guy came up to me, it was like, can you sign the and I had like a weird reaction.

  • I had like a full blown panic attack.

  • I was like, I'm seeing, I'm too known.

  • I don't want people knowing me, which is weird, but you don't know how it feels until you get there.

  • And then I ran into a Nordstrom and I cried and I came out, he was gone the first time I ever heard my voice in something on tv was I did a song for Disney Channel called Future Sounds like Us for a shake it up episode before I even started living matty or cloud nine Disney pics girls, right?

  • We all know this And then they like Sprinkle them into everything and then they become like, they become like a channel entity and that was like one of the first things they want, I think they wanted to see if I could sing.

  • And so they gave me a song on somebody else's show and then everything else happened.

  • That was my very first song I ever professionally recorded.

  • Remember Bella thorne reached out to me on twitter, Something was like, Love Your Song and I was like, whoa, this is weird.

  • And I heard it back and I remember thinking like, is that what I sound like recorded?

  • I sound so different.

  • The first time I was ever embarrassed was in my house, basically my sister was doing this thing, I don't even know what this project was called.

  • But they would take kids from very different parts of cities, like kids that would never mixed together, kids that were maybe like different backgrounds and different walks of life and then they would put them together and they would show them how similar they really were.

  • It was this really cool project actually, but I was so little when it was happening, that's why I'm having a hard time describing it.

  • There was this gorgeous guy, he was like so tall and I remember like, he was so like um like cheeky and he was one of the boys that came from the city and we came from not the city, they were doing this project together and I had such a big crush on him.

  • When I was like five, my dad told the whole room, he was like, sorry, I have to go, my real name's Chloe, and he was like, I have to go get Chloe.

  • Like she won't get off of Jack.

  • His name was Jack, his name was Jack, Jack, I love you wherever you are in the world.

  • I still love you and I'm sorry to my real life boyfriend that I have now.

  • I was so mad at my dad.

  • I'll never forget the first rap song and memorize all the words to.

  • I feel like was Eminem shake that and I feel like I burned it on a cd and I played it in the car and my mom, I remember my mom specifically turning around and being like, do you know what this means?

  • Me being like, yes, like so mad at her.

  • I can't say the lyrics here because they're wildly inappropriate.

  • But like I I still know them.

  • I just, I just sang them all over again to stay in there man.

  • I have no idea where I was fighting these things when I was that age.

  • This was right, when this is wild, I feel old all of them.

  • But this was right when Itunes was new.

  • Like the concept of Itunes buying a song and burning it to a disk was like the newest hottest technology.

  • I was like seven.

  • Why did I know all these rap songs?

  • I don't know but I've been rapping since I was tiny.

  • I did have an A I am I had an AOL email which I remember picking when I was seven.

  • It was random remark 777 at AOL dot com is very much out of commission so you can feel free to email it.

  • I won't ever see it.

  • My first job, my first job that I got paid for was working in my parents warehouse.

  • My parents um they had a wholesale jewelry company.

  • So they would design the jewelry, the design will be shipped to suppliers in India.

  • And so they'd make it and then shipped samples back and then we mass produce it.

  • And so I would work for like $5 every two hours.

  • I'd like break down boxes or like tape boxes with a big tape gun, which thinking back as a seven year old is probably pretty dangerous.

  • But shout out to my parents for giving me my money.

  • I needed, it was seven.

  • My first job in entertainment, I guess a job requires money.

  • Right?

  • Oh, I played a background member of the local film in a Halloween costume like in like a one Z.

  • And pigtails and fake little freckles when I was like nine or something in a movie called a relative thing.

  • I never would have counted that as my first job ever, but I think I got like $20 and it was like for my mom's friend.

  • So I don't know, I've never seen it, but I guess that would be my first job, my fault.

  • My first audition ever was for a foster farms commercial when I was seven.

  • I've always wanted to be an actor and I got an agent when I was in Seattle and she started to send me out for commercials because she's like, this is part of it, you have to go up for commercials.

  • And I still think I remember the lines, it was like you're like sitting on a front porch, you probably watch the commercial.

  • I bet remember watching it being like that girl got it and I didn't know what you eating chicken.

  • Where'd you get it from the store?

  • Those are my two lines and I didn't get it.

  • So you know, it's funny.

  • I feel like when you're little, I've just kind of like, like there are three cameras right now and I probably was lighting like this.

  • Like I think I just felt, I've always felt friendly towards a camera.

  • I never felt like I was trying to do something bad or still myself.

  • Like I always was just kind of chill.

  • I was chilled with people looking at me, I was chill with adults.

  • I just didn't feel like it was any different, it's like talking to people and then there were cameras there the first time I was really star struck.

  • I I think I actually went to go see this one woman play in like a local play in this place called Chinachem, which is like a few hours away from my hometown.

  • There was a girl who did a one woman play called, my name is Rachel, Corrie and I think it was written by somebody local and she did the whole play like three hours by herself and she was so phenomenal that I had to go up to her afterward and tell her how much I married her when I was eight years old and I got so nervous that I just burst into tears and tried to like hug her and she was like, I don't know whose child this is.

  • I don't know, I don't really get star struck by actual celebrities because I feel like now once you know that it's just like not a thing, you're like, oh, I'm a celebrity that's kind of boring.

  • Like you're like, oh we're all just the same.

  • I mean I wouldn't call myself that, but like it's just once you, once you're in Hollywood, I feel like it kind of dissolves.

  • My first time on stage was as a red hot candy in the nutcracker when I was seven.

  • I think a lot happened when I was seven.

  • I wanted to do theater.

  • I had a lot of energy.

  • I was very emotional, I hated soccer and ballet and whatever else my parents tried to get me involved in.

  • I only wanted to do acting and that was my very first thing and I wanted to be the rat king more than anything.

  • But they gave it to an older girl and I was heartbroken.

  • I got to wear a big red wig and I liked that.

  • I do find stage more nerve wrecking now more than film and tv because there is something I know this sounds so weird because cameras are so invasive and I will say if someone is like taking a photo of me without my permission, I have this weird reaction.

  • Like it's super invasive because I am still really shy but when I know I am about to be on camera, I'm comfortable.

  • There's like a trust I know that we're capturing something and that's what I'm here to do and I feel relaxed.

  • I don't know.

  • My first crush was named Dane Wisner and I have mentioned him so much.

  • I really hope he's seen any of them and he's laughing but he was so during the I remember thinking he looked like the lead singer of Green Day at the time because you know how some boys have that permanent like their dark eyelashes make them look like they have guy liner.

  • He had that when we were like really little and he was so dreaming.

  • He was also my first kiss by the way.

  • So it ended well I knew what I wanted and I got it my first celebrity crush.

  • My first like I saw something on the tv and I liked it was Jack's Killington in Nightmare before christmas, we'll call that my first celebrity crush.

  • My first on screen kiss was Wouk Ben Word in Cloud nine and they actually had his practice in the audition room to see if we had chemistry.

  • They were like kiss, and it was like a bunch of executives and it was so scary, that was one of the first times, I was like, wait, what, what do you do, you need a mint?

  • And I was like, yeah, I'd love one, and they were like, we're joking, just kiss.

  • And I was like okay, and we did, we kissed and they were like, there you have it, there are leads, it was the weirdest like twilight zone thing, but he's such a I love luke, it was like my big brother forever.

  • But yeah, we had to kiss a lot.

  • It's like one of my ever first kisses ever.

  • I think the first person I followed on instagram must have been my best friend veronica because she was the one who made me get instagram in high school.

  • She's like, this is going to be the new thing, it's like the new facebook.

  • And I was like, no.

  • And she was like, everybody has one and you're totally gonna get left behind if you don't get one.

  • And so we got one because we went on vacation to Hawaii and she was like, you need a place to put all your photos.

  • And I was like, fair enough, if I want a billion dollars, the very first thing I would do with that money is give it to a number of charities of my choice.

  • First of all, I would donate to the NRDC because I'm a big environmental junkie.

  • Um, I would also donate to planned parenthood Because I'm a big planned parenthood advocate.

  • I mean I would, I would attempt to give money to the rain forest.

  • No joke.

  • First thing I would do if I had the day off actually, I think I'd probably wake up really early and like be out in the world, I like to be up before everybody is up and then I would probably go wherever the wind takes me.

  • That that's what I did the other day in London.

  • My very first tattoo was a capricorn side when I was 14 on my hip.

  • Very much not legally, but it always makes me laugh when people are like, you've changed so much, you used to be so cute and now you're full these tattoos because I've always had tattoos like long before I was ever on Tv.

  • You just never saw them.

  • My first big splurge, I bought a wig in new york when I was 10, when my sister was looking for colleges, I saved up my money to buy a wig in new york as though that's the only place you can get wigs.

  • I was like, when we go to new york, I'm saving up my money buying a wig, it was big and curly, tiny little pin curls and blonde.

  • I don't remember why I wanted to be claudia from interview with the Vampire.

  • That was my dream was to be her.

  • Didn't look like that.

  • I was so hungry.

  • Oh good.

  • The first movie I ever saw him, I would have been like pre verbal status, probably something really inappropriate for my age.

  • My dad was always like films or art and Children will be adults one day.

  • The first role model was probably my dad or my mom or my big sister.

  • I feel like everybody's family is their first role model.

  • My first pet I was born in my family already had a cat named cause, but the first pet that we got was a cat named Maple.

  • She's a little short haired calico cat.

  • This is weird, but I had a wooden ladder leading up to my room in my house that my parents built.

  • There's like a little hole in my room that you'd climb up and Maple because it was a wooden ladder.

  • She could climb it because you know how cats can climb trees.

  • She could put her claws into the wood and she'd climb the ladder to come up and see me.

  • How weird is that?

  • Thank you guys so much for watching.

  • I hope you will turn into a little about me maybe more than you ever wanted to.

  • Don't forget to subscribe to teen vogue.

  • I love you.

guys, this is memories, You're really digging up some stuff right now.
