Alcohol is a big part of high school. I went through my little phase. I don't know one high schooler that doesn't.

I'm done living for other people. I'm done being a people pleaser. I'm done thinking about what people think about me.

It's hard to talk about politics in a Hollywood world.

I feel like at the end of the day, as entertaining as movies are, when you're part of them in a way, it's this beautiful art form and that's what it feels like for me. I'm not a painter, but I can express myself visually in a way that allows me to artistically create.

Acting is fun and I refuse to get involved in the semantics and the politics of strategy and breaking out of something or doing something because you need to do something else. For me it's all about what fuels my soul and if I'm passionate about a screenplay then that's what I'll do next.

I never thought Hollywood is the life I want to do. I thought acting is the life I want to do.

People always ask about the transition from TV show to a movie, but it felt like just going to a different school. You don't really notice the transition, when you're in the moment.
