- Hello, darlings.
What makes me cry?
Pink is not really my thing.
No one believes me. My parents didn't believe me.
They thought I was crazy.
I mean, I can throw a mean spiral.
I'm not just saying that.
Yes! Can we do that?
That'd be awe-- that's cool!
I just hit my reflex. That's weird.
- We're having a sleepover tonight.
- Hey, this is Victoria justice,
and these are my seven secrets.
* gonna show 'em who you are *
* anything is possible *
Ever wonder how a normal girl
deals with becoming a superstar?
Victoria justice is finding out,
and she's about to share it all with you.
- Why'd you pick the French horn?
- I don't know.
I like French fries, French toast...
Ha!
I had to get that out.
This is seven secrets with Victoria justice.
- You're not gonna believe it.
Yeah!
Get ready to get real
with the megatalented and superfashionable
Victoria justice
as she gives you the straight scoop on herself.
Okay.
Are you ready?
Because here comes secret number one.
Poised and perfect Victoria is really a total goofball.
- I'm very goofy.
I don't take myself seriously.
Oh, my god. I can't talk.
Okay.
I hope--I'm gonna go cry in a corner now.
See you guys later.
I am very clumsy.
My mom always says
that I'm the only person she knows
that can trip while standing still.
I mean, I literally, like--
I'll be walking on set,
perfectly, like, alert and awake and aware,
and I'll run into walls.
I just--I don't know.
I've never been the best on my feet.
But the thing is that I love dancing
and I can dance,
but when it comes to just, like,
the simple tasks of everyday, like, walking, running,
all that kind of stuff,
it's not my thing.
I like playing practical jokes.
I'm always pranking people on set,
and I love hiding behind doors and stuff
and, like, hiding in people's dressing rooms
when they come in to work
and then turning off all the lights
so that when they walk in,
like, I jump out and scream at the top of my lungs
and freak them out.
I like doing that.
And I do that at home all the time too.
I'm always, like, hiding behind walls
and scaring my mom and my stepdad and my sister.
The best practical joke I've ever played.
Avan, one time, he had just gone to breakfast,
and he had a bowl of oatmeal
with milk and Cranberries and stuff,
and he was walking upstairs,
and I was doing my usual thing,
where I was gonna hide behind the wall
and jump out and scare him,
and so I was hiding there,
and he walks up and rounds the corner,
and I screamed as loud as I could
and just, like, shoved myself in his face.
- She turns around the corner and scares me.
My oatmeal flies into the air...
- Hit the wall, splashed everywhere,
and I felt so awful,
because I had no idea it was in his hand.
But it was one of the funniest things ever.
I wish I could have videotaped. That was priceless.
"Priceless" is the word Victoria would use
to describe the one item she's owned her entire life.
- Here's Victoria on her prized possession.
- One object that I've had my whole life...
Oh! Well, in Florida,
I was obsessed with 'nsync.
They were my favorite band,
and I had this Lance bass ring because I loved Lance bass,
and so we moved all our stuff from Florida to L.A.,
but we still had our house in Florida,
and I went back to visit one time,
and I was looking through my old closet,
and I saw this little, little shimmering glint
in the corner of the closet, and I walked over.
I was like, "what is that?"
And I picked it up, and it was my Lance bass ring,
and I was so excited.
And, like, from that point on, I wore it every single day,
even though I was, like, 15, 16.
I didn't care. I love my Lance bass ring.
Come back, Lance. Come back.
'Nsync? Huh?
So now you've got an idea
of what kind of music Victoria likes, right?
- Clap, clap, clap clap your hands.
Well, not quite.
'Nsync is downright modern
compared to what Victoria is rocking on her iPod right now.
And that's secret number two.
Victoria and her mom share a record collection.
That's right. I said "record."
- I kind of have the musical tastes of a 40-year-old woman.
I'm not gonna lie. I mean, seriously.
I love hall and oates. Love them.
I play them every single day on the way to work.
I love Frankie valli and the four seasons.
I love Carly Simon.
So I love all those oldies.
My music has a b-side,
and what I mean by that is that I love vinyl vintage records.
So you know, on a vinyl record,
you have an a-side, which has about six songs,
and then a b-side, which has, like, six other songs.
And I just-- I've always--
I just love the sound of a vinyl record.
There's just something so, you know, like, familiar,
and homey to it,
and it's so raw and real,
which I love,
and there's nothing like sitting in my room
when I'm not working
and just falling asleep to an aretha Franklin record.
Who introduced me to vinyl records?
I think it's kind of--
my mom always had them lying around,
but they're all, like, dusty in a cabinet,
and I was like, "oh, what are those?"
And we never really took them out or anything.
And then--I don't know.
I just kind of discovered it myself,
and I told my parents
that I really wanted a record player for my birthday,
and so they got me one,
and I just can sit there
and listen to that sound for hours.
The one vinyl album I could find
would probably be Abbey road, by the Beatles,
'cause it's my favorite album by them,
and I love every single song off of it,
so I would love to have that one.
So where does Victoria
make all her vinyl fantasies come true?
- Amoeba records is one of my favorite record stores,
because it's one of the biggest that I've ever been to
and also the fact
that they don't really have many record stores around anymore,
'cause everything's on iTunes and online,
so it's just really cool to be able to go
into such a historic, well-known place like that,
and the vibe about it is so awesome too.
There's graffiti on the walls,
and--if we go there, I'll show you guys--
there's an elevator, and it has tons of graffiti,
and it's just so dirty and messy-looking,
but it's just so grungy and cool,
and I love it.
This is the elevator
of one of my favorite record stores
in Hollywood.
It's pretty cool, because it's really dirty and grungy
and, like, there's tons of graffiti,
and I love it.
And some gum, which I just put my finger on.
- Eww, eww, eww.
- Hello. Fancy seeing you here.
So let's go look around and check out some cool jams.
Isn't this amazing?
- What is this?
- What do you do with the tape?
All that record shopping
has inspired Victoria to make her own music shine.
- Something people might not know about me
is that I dabble in piano,
and I just learned the victorious theme song,
make it shine.
Here we go.
* here I am *
* once again *
* feeling lost *
* right now and then *
* I breathe it in *
* to let it go *
* *
* and you don't know *
* where you are now *
* or what it will come to *
* if only somebody could hear *
* when you figure out how lost in the moment *
* you disappear *
* you don't have to be afraid to put your dream in action *
* you're never gonna faint *
* you'll be the main attraction *
So where did this love of music come from?
- I've kind of always been involved in music,
ever since I was little.
I have an uncle who was, like, in a band
in the '60s or whatever,
and so he's been singing all his life.
At family reunions and stuff,
when I was, like, three or four, I would go on stage
and sing, like, my girl by the temptations with him.
Like, I've always just loved singing
and instruments and all that kind of stuff.
I'm learning guitar right now.
And I would love to get really, really good at guitar
so I can, you know, be on stage
and just, you know, have an acoustic version all by myself.
That'd be pretty awesome.
I don't know.
Music is just always something
that's been really, really important to me,
and it keeps me grounded, in a way,
and if I'm ever having, like, a weird day
or, you know, I have too many things on my mind,
if I just sit down and, you know,
play a couple chords
or try and write a song on the piano,
it just, like, centers me somehow.
I've written, like, a couple full songs,
but right now, basically, I just have this journal
where I'll have, like, a thought or an idea for a song,
and I'll just, like,
start writing down all these different ideas,
and then maybe I'll just write one verse
or come up with a chorus or something.
But I definitely-- I really--
when I start working on my own solo album,
I would love to start writing a lot of my own songs.
For sure.
* in my victory *
* just remember me *
* when I make it shine *
yeah!
And now Victoria on hitting the high notes.
- One thing I learned about singing
that I didn't know before that
is that it helps sometimes to get on top of a note
to use, like, your arms to do it.
You know, like--
I don't know how to describe it,
but if I'm hitting a higher note,
sometimes I'll do the Christina Aguilera thing
when she was like...
It helps you get on top of the note
and stay on pitch.
For some reason, it just, like, lifts everything up.
I don't know why. It's weird.
Who knew?
Bet you didn't know secret number three either.
Victoria's hot new look is old.
- I love fashion.
* fashion *
I love vintage clothing.
To me, it's so much cooler than wearing anything else,
because it's kind of like you found it.
When you walk into a vintage store,
there's racks and racks of just, like, old clothes,
and the fact that you have to go through
and search for it yourself
and you find something that really means something to you,
it kind of makes it more special, in a way.
Most of the time, I love going to, like,
secondhand stores and vintage stores
and just getting, like, really, like quirky, weird pieces
and then, like, mixing it together
with, you know, some type of designer thing
and just kind of creating my own thing.
So I don't know. I love fashion.
It's awesome.
But most of the days, I kind of just love
wearing, like, ripped jeans and, like, old converse.
Okay, so remember how I said I love vintage clothes?
We're here at one of my favorite spots right now,
so let's go in.
It's, like, coolest shoes ever.
Big plaid things like this are what I love to wear.
I have about, like, ten of these at home.
Can you see me wearing this one? - Yeah.
- This is happening.
Cute.
I can't show it to you yet.
You have to wait until I try it on.
Be right back.
Yeah.
Bam.
Bam!
I don't really know what to say.
But wait, there's more.
Got some cool shades on, and good to go.
We are done here and moving on to the next box.
Vintage shopping
isn't the only thing that puts a smile on Victoria's face.
Here's Victoria on happiness.
- What makes me really happy?
I love walking my dogs, like, on a beautiful day in L.A.
Makes me really, really happy.
I love, like I said, food.
Going to my local diner by my house with my friends
and getting breakfast makes me happy.
Getting to sleep in makes me happy.
I love listening to music.
Whenever, like, I get into a recording studio
and I know that I did my best
and I couldn't have done any better than that,
that just makes me really happy.
Like, knowing that I worked
really, really hard for something
and I got the results that I wanted,
there's no better feeling.
That's why I love performing.
That's why I love acting and stuff,
because just seeing people's reaction
when you know you nailed something
or getting the laugh that you wanted is--
there's no better feeling.
What's the one thing
Victoria can't bear to watch...
- It's literally torture for me.
Her fascination with facial hair...
- I don't know; It's so weird, but I just love it.
It's so much fun.
And her secret to success?
- I have amazing parents and an awesome mom
who always told me...
We're spilling more seven secrets
when we come back.
- Seven secrets will be right back.
- Right or left?
Right. I'm right-handed.
First thing I think of
when I wake up in the morning
is food.
Shorts or skirts? Shorts, for sure.
I hate wearing skirts.
I'm a sucker
for a really, really sweet romantic comedy.
Window or aisle?
I would say window.
Yeah, I love photography.
Tea or coffee? I would say tea.
What about facial or no facial hair?
Well, it's the subject of our next secret,
and it's a hairy one, for sure.
Victoria loves mustaches.
- Yeah, dude, I love mustaches.
The mustache phenomenon. What can I say?
I mean, I don't even have a good explanation
for why, when, and how I love them.
I just do.
I just woke up one day, and I was like, "mustaches,"
and I started googling mustaches.
I have mustache stickers.
I have mustache band-aids.
I even have hidden mustache stickers
all around my room.
So, like, if you really look,
you can find them in, like, weird places.
The background for my laptop became mustaches.
I draw mustaches on me and my friends.
It's just mustaches galore always.
- I don't know; It's so weird, but I just love it.
It's so much fun.
And to top it off, look what else we found.
Mustache rings.
While all you boys out there get started on your mustaches,
let's check out our next secret.
Victoria is not originally from California,
but she is from Hollywood.
No, it's not one of those weird riddles.
From Hollywood to Hollywood.
- I grew up in Hollywood, Florida,
really close to the beach,
and I grew up in this amazing--
I mean, it's very, like, art deco, where I live,
and, like, every other Sunday,
we would go to this brunch place called Angelo's corner,
and we would just, like, walk on the beach together
as a family and...
I had a really, really great childhood,
and it was just, like, a really beautiful place,
and that's the way I like my home.
I love the beach either way,
so I'll still go to L.A. beaches,
but, I mean, as soon as I get in, I'm freezing cold,
but my body gets numb after 20 minutes of it,
so you're just like, you don't really care anymore.
But that's probably the biggest difference.
The difference between the Hollywoods?
Well, since I'm originally from Hollywood, Florida,
Hollywood is very--
it's kind of, like, art deco,
and I live, like, a couple blocks away from the beach,
so I never wore a lot of makeup,
and my hair was just kind of the way it was when I woke up,
which is really cool,
and it's very colorful in Miami.
Like, there's tons of, like, ethnic flavor.
It's like a giant melting pot,
and that's also similar to Hollywood, California, too,
because there's so many different ethnicities
all coming together, which is really cool.
Okay, I wouldn't wear this in Hollywood, Florida,
or Hollywood, California,
but I'm just gonna try it on for fun anyways.
The difference between Florida lifestyle versus L.A.
You know, they're pretty similar,
because I never really lived in, like, a small town.
I've always lived in the city, kind of.
But, I mean, they're both really sunny and beautiful
most of the time.
I think as far as, like, the atmosphere,
it's different.
I think L.A., the traffic is a lot more intense
than in Florida, that's for sure.
Coming up,
what Victoria hates doing
and who she loves hanging with.
We're cracking it wide open
when seven secrets with Victoria justice returns.
- Be right back with more seven secrets
right after this.
We're back,
and we've dug up some more secrets
we want to share.
But first here's Victoria on a typical day on the set.
- Breaking the fourth wall.
What happens on the set of victorious.
Well, I wake up usually--
you know, this isn't my favorite part--
around, like, 7:00, S0 sometimes, on a bad day,
and, you know, Monday, Tuesday are our rehearsal days,
so we'll get the script, like, really late on Sunday night.
So then I'll wake up early.
I'll read it on the way to work,
and then we have a table read,
and then after that, we rehearse pretty much all day.
I go home, eat, sleep, do it all over again,
and then on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday,
are our shoot days.
So on those days,
I usually have earlier call times,
so I'll have to come in and do-- get hair and makeup done
for about two hours,
but that's one of my favorite part of the days,
because, like, the entire cast is in there,
and we just talk
about everything that's going on in our lives.
We complain for a little bit about certain things.
But we just have so much fun.
Hey, Matt, what's up?
Just some homeless dude
that always comes in and hangs out on set.
You know, I think a lot of people think that, you know,
being on TV is, like, glamorous and amazing
and hair and makeup and wardrobe,
and it's awesome, and it is really cool,
but it's also a lot of hard work too.
It's a lot of work, but it's a lot of fun,
because I'm with my friends every single day
and I have an amazing crew
and it's just like hanging out with a close group of friends
and doing what you love, so it's pretty awesome.
I'm really lucky, because I get to work with an amazing cast.
We have so much fun together.
- And cut.
Victoria might think working in television
is pretty awesome,
but there's one part of her job she can't stand.
It's secret number six.
Victoria can't watch herself on TV,
- this might sound weird because, you know,
I'm an actress and everything,
but I actually hate watching myself on TV.
It's literally torture for me.
Whenever I'm in a group of friends
and they're like, "oh, let's watch your show," or whatever
or I'm watching it at home,
I literally either have to leave the room
or, like, cover my eyes-- I'm just, like, you know,
start talking really loudly so no one else can hear it.
But it's just really hard for me to watch myself.
I start thinking, like,
"oh, that could have been funnier.
Oh, no, could have done that better,"
or, "what are you doing with your mouth there, Victoria?"
You know, I'll just start thinking
all these weird things in my head.
But I do love watching the episodes by myself.
It's just kind of a lonely existence,
sitting at home alone
when, like, no one else is around.
Kind of sad, but...
Personally, I'm really, really hard on myself
and very critical,
and I always like everything I do to be perfect,
and nothing I ever do is gonna be perfect,
so I kind of have to get used to that.
So what is Victoria's secret to success?
It's Victoria on dreaming big.
- I have amazing parents and an awesome mom
who always told me, you know,
if you want to do something, go for it,
and, you know-- this sounds cheesy--
but dream big,
because if you don't have big goals and aspirations,
then you have nothing to build up to.
I came out here having a goal in mind
and knowing that I loved it,
and I worked really, really hard at it,
and I had an awesome family who was supporting me 100%
all the way,
and, you know, there are times when, you know,
I can get hard,
because you'll audition all the time
and you get said no to
a lot more than you get said yes to
as far as it comes to, like, booking roles,
and so, you know, there would be times
where I'd be really disappointed
when I worked really, really hard for something
and really want something
and then you don't get it.
And it's pretty disappointing,
and at that point in time,
you start thinking, "oh, this is never gonna happen,"
or this and that.
And you just have to remember that
you just have to keep going.
If you really, really want it, you have to keep trying
and you have to work harder and harder and harder,
and that's what I've been doing,
and, you know, I'm so lucky
to have my own show on nickelodeon, you know.
It's an amazing opportunity,
and I feel so, so grateful.
Hopefully after I'll be able to do movies.
I'd love to do movies,
and I want to work on my music a lot.
I'm really excited to work on a solo album
and start writing a lot of my own music.
And, yeah, I think as long--
you just have to really, really believe in yourself
and really go for it,
because if you just sit at home and complain
and say, "oh, I wish I could do that,"
then it's never gonna happen.
You actually have to get up and do it.
Know what else can help
to make your dreams come true?
A great friend.
And Victoria's definitely got one of those.
And guess what.
He can actually grow one of those mustaches,
because secret number seven is,
Victoria's best friend is a guy.
- So everyone always asks me who my best friend is,
and they always assume it's a girl,
but the fact of the matter is, is that it's a guy.
His name is avan jogia,
and he's actually on my show, victorious, with me.
He plays Beck,
and we met on the set of spectacular!
This other nickelodeon movie we did together in Canada.
He's even told me since that day
that he'll never experience
another moment like that ever again.
- That's not true. That's not true.
- It's like, when you meet someone of that caliber,
it's, like, what do you do after that?
- Kiss me.
- Little weird.
Let's do it.
- Man, I love this school.
He's really, really funny.
Like, we totally get each other's sense of humor,
because we're both weird.
Like, we don't have, like-- I don't know.
We're just weird.
We make up weird songs. We make up weird dances.
We're just--weird voices.
We're just always weird together.
He's, like, my weird friend.
* brrring-ding, ding, ding *
* here I am *
- * once again *
- * brrring-ding, ding, ding *
* brrring-ding *
- all right, what kind of jokes have you played on me?
- What kind of jokes have I played on you?
- Other than toying with my emotions?
- And we just, like, immediately hit it off.
Like, he doesn't take himself seriously.
He's so goofy and funny and...
You know, he's really musical, like I am,
and he's just, like, a really sweet, really kind guy,
and I see him pretty much every day of my life
for the past two years,
and we have a lot of fun together.
Avan, I can kind of see you wearing these.
- Those are nice. - I actually could too.
- Kind of, right?
- Or these.
Huh? - Wait, wait, wait.
- What?
It lights up.
Even though he's a guy, we still--
we do a lot of the girl stuff together.
Like, I'll dress him up. I'll do his makeup.
I'm just kidding.
He's gonna kill me for saying that.
And the thing I love about avan is that, you know,
I can be bored at my house and be, like,
"avan, come over. I have nothing to do,"
and he'll just come over,
and we'll hang out in my room and just play guitar
and do nothing, like, literally nothing.
So, you know, he's just a super laid-back guy
and really down-to-earth and really, really sweet too.
I get to work with him every single day,
which is so cool!
I mean, like, getting to work with your best friend
on this awesome TV show--
we just have so much fun together.
And our dressing rooms are right next door to each other,
so we're always, like, hanging out,
and during lunch, we all go to avan's dressing room, usually,
or in the green room.
Victoria, all we can say is,
he's lucky to have a friend like you.
- * you might be crazy *
* have I told you lately that I love you? *
* you're the only reason that I'm not afraid to fly *
* and it's crazy *
* that someone could change me *
* now no matter what it is I have to do *
* I'm not afraid to try *
* you need to know that you're the reason why *
now you've got the scoop on me.
Remember, I like to prank my friends,
so watch your back.
Bye.
- * so tell me that you love me *
* yeah, and tell me that I take your breath away *
* maybe if you take one more *
* then I would know for sure *
* there's nothing left to say *
* tell me that you love me anyway *
* tell me that you love me *
* yeah *
* and tell me that I take your breath away *
* maybe if you take one more *
* then I would know for sure *
* there's nothing left to say *
* but tell me that you love me anyway *
