If you want to be treated like adults then start acting like them.

Every choice you make as an actor ends up being really influential on your life, because you're spending a lot of time working on this project, and you want to make sure you're making good choices and you're not making them for the wrong reasons. I just want to be careful and not jump into anything.

It's great when you can just focus your whole attention on the music and hear all of the decisions and choices that were made.

When you're 18, you escape if you want to. Sixteen, you're still really depending on the people around you. You can't drive, and you can't support yourself. You can't legally be responsible for yourself.

When you're 12, a 12-year-old girl is so out of your league, because they have no interest in you. You're like 10 years younger. You're 2 to them.

Acting is such a weird job.

If you're working with a director you trust, you can turn that part of you off that wants to direct other actors in a certain way.
