I recently rewatched Stand By Me and was like, "Wow, this is so powerful because these young men are so vulnerable and so emotional, and love each other." That's a rare quality for a film.

I didn't even think about it when I read the script and then shooting their movie and someone was like "boy, press is going to be fun". And I didn't really know what they were talking about because to me it's just a film shows it as an extremely viable option which is obviously the most important thing for young individuals.

I grew up playing sports, but now I feel like I can't, because if I get injured, I'll impair whatever film I'm working on.

You have ideas planted in your head, thoughts you never had before, that tell you how you have to act, how you have to dress and who you have to be. I have been trying to push back, to be authentic, to follow my heart, but it can be hard.

Judging people you don't know for things you don't understand is just really stupid.

I hate how box-office failures are blamed on an actress, yet I don't see a box-office failure blamed on men.

I'm not used to being in front of a camera as myself. I'm not used to watching myself as myself.
