I think a lot of people were like, "Oh, you're 13, you're gonna rebel." But I was never in public school and I was never really forced to do much of anything, as a kid.

I'm inspired by anything. Not even just art, just anything that's real and vulnerable.

I wasn't a child star, so hopefully I can keep my head on straight.

So many things tear us apart from each other. That's the hardest thing, to fit with all the hatred and pain we're embroiled in. I mean, we're a very violent species, physically and emotionally.

As I've become older and more self-conscious, I'm more aware of films and the film industry. I'm sure you've seen that, but the publicity, the public side of this world is pretty scary to me.

I was raised to be some kind of artist.

I never watched a frame of the film until it was finished.
