“That’s where I want to go and I want to study law. As for music, I don’t have any plans for it at the moment. “I don’t know if I ever will,” she continued.

The teen said she believes she “definitely wants to do criminal defense” and doesn’t think she would “survive” in civil matters, noting she may want to specialize in narcotics-related cases.

“I think it’s very complex. It is morally and legally very complex. There are a lot of loopholes,” she said.

“It’s wild, to be honest. And I think that’s one of the reasons I’m so interested in it,” Bailee continued. “Because if I had gone to medical school, I would have gone to medical school, and I hate the medical field having to go into that for me.

“And whatever field I go into, I’m ready to shake it up,” Bailee continued, noting that she would consider becoming a congresswoman, judge or president.

“Because we’re all kind of used to it,” Bailee explained. “He came to football games, for example, and that’s what he is. I think everyone’s over that ‘Oh my God’ thing. And besides, people somehow know that I’m not the right guy. Otherwise it’s pretty easy to make new friends, but I just don’t do that anymore.”
