I'm getting more into fashion. I'm surprised that I'm getting into it because I was always wearing goofy stuff in high school.
I'm not good at Disney acting. I'm really not. I never was on that audition list, which I don't mind. I don't know. I look back, and I'm kind of wiping my forehead at the thought of, 'What if I had gone that route?'
I'm very good at living out of a suitcase. I love dressing up every morning. It feels like a costume, in some ways.
I think that's okay and that is part of growing up and that is good, to learn that the world isn't always your oyster or isn't everybody's oyster.
I learned to understand the distance a character can be from yourself and how important rehearsal can be to creating a person that feels like a person that isn't you.
It's hard to do things like auditions, because you don't want to put weeks of work into just an audition.
One thing about New York is you can understand how you're perceived really easily if you just get on the train, by the way people look at you. But there's still an anonymity in it.
I find it really weird that sexuality is still so taboo in films and violence isn't. It really bewilders me.
Gun violence is almost promoted onscreen in these huge blockbusters and then sex is still so shocking. But I also can understand that people find it uncomfortable, which I think is cool.
Even the creative things feel mathematic, almost.
I really do like working very closely with a director and developing characters.
As I've started school I have a student-feeling wardrobe and then because I travel a lot, things feel very different for different places and days.
I like records. My favorite is Simon and Garfunkel.
I take a few pictures a week, but the best part is waiting for my film to be developed. The suspense is exciting, and the reward is great.
