Mia opened up about misconceptions people have about her career in an interview on the Qubi series, Close Up by E! News. Mia says that she is a very hard worker, and that is the reason for her success. "A lot of people think that I come from the music industry. I don't. I come from a normal family. I come from a very small island. I just think that my career, my situation, my life just proves that it doesn't matter where you're from. It doesn't matter what connections you have…if you have the passion, you have the drive and you really believe that this is what you're meant to do, and you work for it, then it can become a reality."

Mia has a busy life, and she likes it that way. During the pandemic, Mia tells Atwood Magazine that she made sure to do a lot of at-home things. "I've been trying to keep myself busy. I just know, in regular life, when I don't have anything to do, it makes me really anxious. I always like to try to keep myself working or growing, whether that's like for my career or just mentally, and as a person. I like to always have something to do. But of course, I have moments too where I just want to chill out and look on my phone or, you know, not do something that's so productive."

Mia doesn't let social media overwhelm her. She encouraged others to do the same to Extra. "For social media, I would just say don't get consumed with it. And I know that's really hard for everyone to do. Not just younger fans. Try to like step outside, go into the real world, get perspective, because I know being on social media can be like, you're comparing yourself to everything you see, and wondering why you're not good enough, and that can just really take a toll on you and your dreams too. So just try to keep perspective, stay close to your family and just work on yourself, you know? I don't know, it's rough out here. 

Mia talked about her career in an interview with The Glass Magazine. She says that she is extremely grateful for everything that has happened. "I'm just so grateful to have had just all the experiences I've had. I come from such a small island and I was just a little girl that loved music. I've accomplished more than I could have ever dreamed of."

Mia plays Tristan in the films After and After We Collided. She opened up about how she relates to the character to Extra. "I feel like Tristan and I are like the same person. In my friend group, I'm very like levelheaded. But at the same time, like I like to party, I like to go out, I like to be sexy and cool. But I feel like my friends do look to me for guidance and like advice, and I think Tristan plays that same role in her friend group."
