I was never not in a show from ages 11 until 18. It was a great creative atmosphere but also a professional kind of atmosphere. When I finally went into the professional world, I felt ready. I was prepared for work.

I always did workshops. I would be at theater camp, doing shows, or after-school programs.

I think it would be ridiculous to work with Tom Hardy. I hear some crazy things about him, and he's also really good.

I have a lot of weird interests, but everything I do is artistic.

A lot of high school students on TV and in Broadway are played by people in their late 20s and even early 30s. That seems weird to me.

I’ve never taken time off from being an actor. This is the kind of career I’d be so happy to do until I die. I always joke to myself that I want to have a postmortem Academy Award Nomination.
