I had a tough time fitting in, as I guess most kids do. I felt like school was kind of a grand opportunity to figure yourself out and to figure out what you wanted.

I want more awareness of humanity in this world.

I was 3 when I told my mom that I knew what my dharma was and that I wanted to be an actor.

I wasn't interested in going to the school dances. I wasn't interested in going to the football games. What I wanted was to be in my room painting my walls and doing weird stuff. That's what I wanted and I got to do what I wanted, so that, to me, is my high school experience.

Lately, I've been getting too much attention with the Met Gala and work going so well that I try to find rejection in my day. I'll seek out someone on the street or at the farmers' market and ask for something where I know they'll say no. No one likes rejection, but it's real. And I don't want to lose that feeling.

I think the interesting aspect of life is that you're always sort of in the middle. You're never the youngest and you're never the oldest.

We're in a different time right now, and I think we're ready to see a different type of female hero.
