‘Honestly, I feel I am a part of a generation that is constantly breaking down walls, pushing the envelope and jumping into new territories, and that’s becoming more accepted,’ Hailee said.

‘I feel like, in my head, I’ve put myself in a box more than I feel society has. I think that there are definitely societal standards that are ridiculous, and I don’t feel any pressure to live up to any of those. 

‘I feel like I’ve got my own and it’s very easy to get carried away with them.’
