One thing I noticed after being down in Mississippi for the shoot was that words like "God" and "Jesus" are used all the time, but they're not specifically referring to Jesus. It's sort of this accepted phraseology for love, or spirituality, or whatever it is you personally believe in.

For years, I hated myself. I covered the mirrors in my house. I literally couldn't have a mirror in my room.

Unless it's a specific accent, or something about physicality you have to change, I am generally not such a conscious actor.

I think people are learning to actually aspire to be objectified.

It's Aslan, the lion from The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe. It's a symbol of my hellish childhood. I struggled through my oppressive teenage years and when I turned 18 I escaped. Like Aslan I was finally free.

All the roles are for boys. The girls' roles are either small or all the same. There's just nothing interesting.

Well, I think most people understand that there's a big difference between who you are and who, you know, you play.
