[I’d study] law or something, not to practice, just to be able to read my own contracts.

I don’t have enough information. I just started reading my own damn contracts not that long ago, so I don’t know. I have to be more aware and know a little bit more to even figure out what [the root issue is] and how to fix it. I think it’s about accountability for sure.

— American actress and singer Zendaya, explaining what could be next for her in an interview with Allure, while offering her thoughts on pay equity for women in Hollywood. While 23-year-old Zendaya is a high school graduate, she’s not yet taken on college. Zendaya will need to complete at least several college-level courses if she’d like to follow in Kim Kardashian’s footsteps and study the law and take the bar exam without going to law school.
