Yeah. I feel like you're your own worst enemy and critic, you
know, always be in our own way in that way. Yeah, yes,
definitely. What do you think you can do more? Enough of?
Oh? I mean, I'm kind of being thrown back into the world of
auditioning. Okay, So you know, I just I feel like it's more
of that. It's more just perfecting my craft, getting out there and you
know, just being being put in the game. It's different. It's it's
it's interesting. I haven't been like kind of auditioning for a long time,
so its no, zero, absolutely not. I can be I guessed right,
but not in your situation, definitely not. And I feel like,
you know, I feel like you know, Yeah, when you feel like
you've gotten to a point where there's no room to grow, you're not gonna
yeah, so you always have to kind of stay hungry and humble with that.
So I love it. Good Trouble free Form streams on Hulu. Very
popular show. Final season. It's very emotional for everyone, very bittersweet.
Yeah, I'm not crying. You're right, but you you know, from
the Fosters to Good Trouble, you grew up on television, right, this
is what you do. This is who you are, right, this is
your identity. Absolutely, it's been it's been a huge blessing to be a
part of, you know, this legacy of a show. Ten years that
I've been on it, and I've really grown up alongside my character, which
has been awesome. And just to get the feedback from all of our fans.
It's the true reason why we have lasted on the air for so long.
It's all because of them. I'm so forever grateful to them and for
this experience it's been. It's been a beautifuljourney. And you got a shot
the direct as well. I sure did. I never got used to that.
That was that was a muscle. I never worked. So were you
filming scenes and you were directing in the middle of the scene. I was,
yes, so you're wearing two hats at once. It was really cool.
Yeah, it was. It was so much fun. I've always been
super passionate about the behind the scenes as much as I was being in front
of the camera, So to have that opportunity was awesome. It was it
like you cut? It was, yes, yes, very much that it
was a hold And you're like, are you gonna explore that a little bit
more in the future. I would love to. I caught the bug.
I truly fell in love with that entire process, and I would love to
do it again. Yeah, Like, what's something about directing that you were
you didn't really expect? Oh you know what I should. I did love
that. I did love that. No, it was it was really challenging.
It was really fun to get out of my comfort zone, you know.
But I was actually really surprised at you know, how much I did
actually kind of know growing up on that set, I didn't give myself enough
credit for. But I felt so supported the entire way. My whole crew,
who I have been working with most of them for like about ten years
now. They're all like my brothers and sisters and uncles. You know,
they were all rooting me along the whole way and wanted to see me win.
So it was a really awesome time. That's amazing. Now you were
shining. Boy, people that don't necessarily gatekeep are trying to like never challenge
your direction, right, that's amazing. To have that trust too, was
amazing to you know, know that they were very very so I felt really
lifted and it kind of that really helped me kind of step into that new
role and kind of just own it in a way. You know. I
felt really comfortable to do that. So it was really awesome. Yeah,
because I'm sure you're going to meet some challenges, right, You're gonna and
challenges comes in the form of people sometimes and He's just like, yo,
man, I'm just trying to do my thing. I'm trying to do the
best job possible here. You know, pay attention to me right right now?
Luckily. I was really surrounded by a lot of love. That's so
good. That's great being of love. To see the hand I know,
I know that thing sunk, the Titanic. Thank you so talk about it
was my goodness. It was a dream come true of a proposal. Yeah,
you love this guy. Let's be honest. I'm obsessed with him.
I'm obsessed with him. No, it was it was, Oh my gosh,
what a dream. It was back in my hometown in Texas, and
he surprised me with all of our friends and family, and it was just
it was perfect. I couldn't have dreamed up a better proposal. Did he
ask your dad for permission? Well, he asked, yes, he asked
my family. My dad passed away, but you know what he is.
He he loved Jonathan, so you know he had his approval. But he
asked my family for your family, he did, and he knew how important
it was that you know, they were they were a part of it.
So that was really special. Yeah, of course, what was that.
Jackie has this thing she's waiting to be engaged, Like, no, really,
she's been waiting. Hilarious. She uh has a few rules when it
comes to me. She doesn't want to be proposed to on a holiday or
in a public setting. So was yours on a holiday or explain around your
family? Was so funny. I actually I had that rule too because we
had spoken about it. I didn't know it was coming, but yeah,
even anniversaries, Like I'm like, I want this to have its own day.
Literally, I'm with you on that day. I really set the boundaries
of like, Okay, no birthday, no holiday, anniversary, and no
sporting of it. Like God also wants to design the ring counter to that?
Do I mean it's just people don't really celebrate the engagement day. Yes,
no, you're absolutely count you know you're right because then now we're like,
so do we celebrate that day now, like as our anniversary? Yeah
no you don't. So you're right. That's my only colendar. Like,
no, like to each his own, you know you want to. But
I'm with Jackie, like, I think that it deserves its own day.
It does. You can't share it with Christmas, Halloween, Valentine's Day that's
coming up right, Absolutely, jump, I would I would love Like that
sounds great. Yeah, wants to be on camera. Is there a date
for the wedding yet, Oh my goodness, No, we have not come
up with one. I'm just enjoying my fiance era. I'm just getting used
to calling him my fiance, you know, so you know, good morning,
fiance, Hi, fiance something we are and yes, just get to
work at it. He's like, where do you Jim? He was like,
good past the equinox. I was like, yo, jail, I
run on the street in downtown La, party outside does the prison work out?
Which is okay? Right right? I know you're really good at Nicki
Minaj versus what's your favorite Nicki Mina? Oh, my goodness, probably make
Love Gucci. Ma okay, I love that one. I mean monsters always
like everyone, legendary, legendary. That's like my party trick. Karaoke,
Oh all day? How many shots does it take for you to become Nicki
Minaj Sauce. We're talking about love Valentine's Days around the corner, right,
What's what are you getting your fiance? It's a surprise. I do.
I really love Valentine's daycause we always try to do something fun together, Like
I don't know what we're going to do this year, but sometimes we'll do
like we did like a a pizza making competition. We've made sushi together.
Yeah, I like. I like things like that, just manny time together.
I can't wait for pizza competitions are no longer happening. Oh yeah,
yes, exactly, I do. I I definitely think I still have a
couple more selfish years in me, but God willing them up. Yes,
I like my sleep, take your time. I see you so with good
trouble this being the season, uh, the final season and the season finale,
Like, what are you like just gonna miss so much about this?
Oh my goodness. I mean, like I said, I grew up on
this set and seeing the people I work with every day and getting to tell
the stories that we get to tell. It's been just such a special thing
for me to be a part of and it will always have a place in
my heart. But yeah, I think just seeing everyone every day, and
you know, we've been through so much together, their lives, death,
pandemics, yeah, strikes everything and absolutely so Yeah to have that, you
know, see someone every day and then not at all, So it's kind
of sad. It's bittersweet, but just knowing that we left behind a legacy
and that people will like I feel like the show, even the Fosters.
You know, you can watch it now and find a way to relate to
it. It's so topical and it's so current even to this day. Knowing
that you know it's been able to touch lives and it will continue to do
so is just so beautiful to me. Has there been a conversation of like,
hey, listen, I know we're not going to be seeing each other
every day, but maybe once a year we all get together somewhere. Oh.
Absolutely, there's no way they're getting rid of me and vice versa.
We're family at this point to say that now. But then it's like,
dam it's been three years since I haven't seen it. Oh, I hope
not. We're definitely going to make a point. I hope not. If
you guys grew up together, like yeah, oh they're sad. You're making
me sad. We're never going to see these people. I would just say,
the most sweetest thing that a fan has told you about Mariana that who
you know what? I think it would have to be the fact that you
know, and one thing that really drew me to Mariana was that she's this
latina that is taking on a boy like a man driven career that you know,
I feel like a lot of people can they saw her on their screen
and they were like, I see myself in you. Yeah, she's a
software engineer. And I've met so many Latinas that have been inspired to do
so and get into that world, which I feel like, I'm like,
wow, this male dominated world now, like there's a bunch of Latinas like
taking it over, Like I'm here for that. So to know that they
were a little bit of like inspiration to like get them into the software engineering
world is so cool. Your character help guide them. And also, I
mean I've met people who have been inspired to adopt because of the Fosters,
Like that's such a beautiful thing. So it's so cool. I feel like,
you know, as time passes, I'm just like inspired and there's so
many beautiful stories. My wife is in love with Good Trouble right, I
can't watch it with her. I guess it's her time. I love it,
I get it. I'm like, all right, well I'll be in
the room. I guess I'll be in the car. But yeah, she
she she told me to tell you that Mariana needs to get back with Evan.
Oh. I love it. She's team Eviannaana. They need to get
back together. I'm like, it's a show you got, you got,
watching's already written. Yeah right, I'm like, yeah, so if you
can make that happen, perfect wife, fiance girlfriend, I love it.
Yeah, we've been engaged for a while. You've been engaged since September.
Recent engagement. A lot happened for a little over ten years now, Okay,
yeah, hey, hey hey listen, you love yours for Mexican.
We have we have kids first, exactly, that's how it goes. So
we have two kids now, so now that's a commitment right there. Hey,
where am I going to go? We have two kids right here?
I love you. Why do we need to get married now? You know,
I do need to do it? Is it all up to me,
by the way, or is it kind of No? I don't think that.
Is it a team thing at this point? I mean maybe you could
like just have that conversation, like let's get I don't I hear a woman
like a man who texts the initiative and just as on it. You know,
definitely. But I mean, if it's been ten years and I feel
like she's like seems she's content. That's a good that's a good question.
I mean, I don't think after a decade, after a decade to repropose,
you wanted to get a new ring if you maybe last what you say,
if you want to do a flash mob, include me in it,
flash mob propose? Okay, all right, but I do need a new
ring, Yeah, I think so. I think so if you're going to
repropose, yeah, don't do it with the old ring. I don't know.
I don't know. Finances upgrade. This is the first time you guys
got from proposal. We have kids now, so I'm right back to zero.
I mean, I appreciate we're doing a logical decision here follow let for
more relationship financials and financial advice when inspired the vlogging era, Oh my goodness,
that was all Jonathan. Yeah, you guys are having fun with it.
Oh absolutely. I think it was really stemmed from the fact that,
like, we have so much fun together, We're always up to something,
and he was like, why don't we just like, I mean, it's
not even about like trying to make it anything, like just to document like
our memories and to be able to look back on it, you know.

having fun with it for you. That's awesome than you are you guys gonna

But I also feel like, well, because my boyfriend's of pis, so
he's more of like he likes acts of service service Okay, that's his thing.
Yeah, conversation, but I thought that's how all pieces work. But
I mean I do appreciate that too, of course. Yeah. Yeah,

syrup on him things. Yeah, but my go to was always hot cheetos
and cream cheese. Yes, yeah, Now hot cheetos and cream cheese are
hot cheels with cheese, which ones because it kind of quiets down the spice
exactly. That's my girl dinner for sure. Zero zero right and a cigarette.
So let's DJ and this party? Are you ready? Yeah? Yeah?
Yeah, yeah, I actually and I actually canceled the gig so I
could do this. I was, I was, I was only gonna do
it for a few hours, and I told Jean because Jean reached out and
I was like, bro, I got a gig that night. I could
DJ from YadA yady. I could leave my set up and the homie joke
and take over. And then I was like, you know what that's gonna
be. Have a hass. I don't want to go back and forth.
I'm just going to cancel the other gig. And you want to tell us
here why you work alone today? Be honest, No, Because I told
her that one time we did the key saying thing. I was like,
yo, her sister was gorgeous, So I want to and you can tell
your sister that I was smoking. And if she's available, Nathan, I
even told you, you let me know when you're he's shooting your shot.
Is a taking woman. Unfortunately, that's okay. Hey, listen said she's
available, she's available. Stands So Michael Jordan didn't make every shot. Bro,
I'm not mad at you. You know, I'm happy she found someone
that's right, that's right, that's even if it's set me up. Speaking
of your sister. You guys have a super close relationship. I mean you
guys, you always see it on Instagram and you guys post that very like
publicly, like what is I guess your favorite thing to do together? Like,
oh, that's my little twin right there. Oh my gosh. I
love doing nothing with her, like just like being in the same room on
TikTok. You know that's love. Yeah, I know, she's the best.
She cracks me up in everything that we do. It always makes it
such an adventure. But yeah, I just love I love just being with
her. We just have so much fun together. Now. Who borrows each
other's clothes more often? Oh? Girlfriend, that's a triggering subject. I
feel like she she takes longer to get ready. She definitely does. Yeah,
she would. She would steal my clothes growing up. And the thing
was is like she was very sneaky about it. We went to the same
school. We were two years apart. She would wear a different outfit to
school. I'd see her in the hallways shut a layer. It was mine.
And she wouldn't just borrow clothes, she would cut it. She would
make it her own. Yeah, everyone's like, oh, it's already one
thing that takes. Yeah, we moved pasted it now from yeah, we've
healed fights started. It was that was all we thought about. Though.
You know you're gonna cut the sleeves off my card again. Right? How
are you treated on set? Right? I mean as far as like your
dressing room and do you get a golf cart? Do you have your own
parking space? You do? Right? I do? Yes, I'm very
very grateful for you know, there's nice advocating like everybody else like you belong
there absolutely because we deserve to be there, exactly. Yes, absolutely,
when you have like Blancos running stuff for you you. For me, it
was one time I was like, what the heck? This is different,
but you have a white assistant, but sod, I'm gonna speak my truth,
you know what I'm saying. And and for me it was like,
oh damn. But it's good that they're treating you. Oh no, absolutely
absolutely refect and love and it's so great. Yeah, definitely love being able
to you know, be someone that's getting you know, my name out there,
and you know, absolutely because there's so many people that I've looked up
to who have opened the doors for me. So just you know, I
hope to only do that. And I think with this series and like it
being the final season, like from the beginning of like Good Trouble to now,
like I'm pretty sure like there was some like nervousness of like, you
know Mariana and having her like this whole show will be about, you know,
absolute storyline and where she's gonna go. Now, what's the biggest I
guess difference now from the very beginning to the very end of you personally and
how you took on Mariana. Oh, that's a great question. My goodness,
you know what. I think it's been really, like I said before,
I really have grown up alongside her, and there have been moments where
I'm like I've really learned from her. And I don't know if at this
point like I am her or she's me. It's interesting, like there's a
really gray area. But something I think that I will take with myself is
just the way that she is, Like she she gets it. She goes
into a room and and you know, people can tell her no, but
she will prove them wrong. And she definitely is a believer that like,
you know, I deserve to be here and I deserve to take up space,
So I think for me, yeah, just becoming comfortable with that sure,
just because of the way that she always has been is how I'm different.
Like, I'm like, I'm going to take a lot of her qualities
with me later in my life. That's great, yo, you know it's
it's fun and it's love and you're working with your friends. Right, But
there are challenges obviously, right, just like in anything, right, what
are some challenges that you had to overcome or that you met? My goodness,
I'm like, it's all been great, It's all been really wonderful.
I'm like, I'm just thinking about like I'm like, i mean, like,
it takes a lot of time to film an episode, and there's a
lot of waiting, a lot of waiting, long hours. You miss a
lot of like right, and I feel like it's it's you can miss out
on like you know, I've missed out on people's weddings and you know,
important moments and you know it's like you have to kind of think about it,
take a step back. You're like, Okay, this is my job,
my career. Thankfully, I have really wonderful people around me who are
always super understanding. But you know, it is it is hard to miss
out on things, but it's all for a purpose. I love what I
do and I'm so thankful for it. Sure, what's your goal? Oh
my goodness, do you want an Oscar? I mean that would be from
your lips to God's years. That would be amazing he is today. Hopefully
it works not but yeah, I mean that's that's like the pinnacle, right.
Oh, absolutely, that's what everyone hopes for. But I just hope
to keep taking on roles that get conversations started. And you know, again,
I think like it's kind of been a common thing that I've been talking
about, getting, you know, in, put in rooms that you deserve,
you know, to be in, and and paving a way for people
and telling our stories because they deserve to be told. So I think that's
what I want to move forward. I want to hopefully direct more so I
can help push those stories. But yeah, I'm just excited for the future.
Can you see yourself taking on a challenging role where you have to almost
be method about it and live that character. Absolutely, those are the roles
that I admire the most that I'm like, oh my gosh, they they
had to gain a bunch of weight, like, look, they look totally
different and like, you know, aren't afraid of like looking beautiful. Like
I feel like those are the actors. Is that I just I admire so
much Jim Carrie did that? Yeah, so many others right where even when
the cameras are off, there's still that character exacts service. Yeah, that's
the whole thing. Yeah, that's that's Yeah. I've never been Phoenix,
did it is? Yeah, it's pretty wild. I've never had to be
in a role kind of like that, but that could be cool. Yeah,
you'd kill it. Thank you for sure? What do you think?
And let you no? Would you ever direct the music video? I would?
I want to. Yeah, I want to get out. Yeah that
would be amazing. I'm a tap in dog. Please tap in dog.
You will be compensated for your star wagon. Just just pay me and snacks.
Yeah yeah, you invoiced me what you are. Pay for the costco
membership for you, you know what I mean. Sierra Amire is on Good
