bad
I wanted to be a ballet dancer. I was bad - I'm not very coordinated. But I always wished I could have been a dancer.
bad considered
I went to a private school, and I struggled academically. It was really disheartening to always be considered bad at that.
across bad family fridge mad mainly milk run stops street
My family get so mad at me when they come over. All I'll have in is milk and eggs. I mainly keep film in my fridge - it's better for it; it stops it from going old. I'm bad at eating healthy; I usually just run across the street and get cheeseburgers.
allowed bad freedom house outside
In California, where you're allowed to drive at 16, you get so much freedom with that. It's a freedom to get outside of your parents' house and to do bad things.
I've only ever taken a playwriting class, but I like creative writing and writing screenplays.
deals great subject teenage universal
The teenage years are such a great subject because everything is heightened and on the surface, and it deals with universal emotions that we face even as we get older.
experience people surprised
I've been very surprised by people asking me what my teenage experience was like.
kids movies
Most movies use older actors, but I thought, if I could just put kids on camera and get them to be themselves, what could be easier?
asked felt seemed studied
I studied photography at Bard, but I just felt tired of it. Someone asked me to be in a video but didn't want to be in it, so they told me to make my own, and that seemed more fun to me.
mom onto
When I was a baby, my mom was always bringing me onto set.
best
Usually when I get nervous and don't know how to prepare for something, I just don't do anything at all, which is not necessarily the best idea.
approach art aspect cool enjoy fashion guys seem
I enjoy fashion photography and textiles, that whole aspect of it. As more of an art form, I like Proenza Schouler. Those guys are really cool because they seem to have an interesting approach to it all.
classes ended taking year
I got my GED my senior year and ended up taking community college classes before I transferred to Bard.
kids nice skin
So many of the kids on television have really nice clothes, perfect skin and hair.
