Being able to be with someone I trust, where we don't want anything from each other, having a safe, steady relationship like that has really opened my eyes to the possibilities of love and what it feels like to love without conditions.Collection: Trust
Every morning I want to wake up and be excited about what I'm going to do. I want it to be honest and fulfilling for me personally, and then maybe it can be fulfilling for the rest of the world, too.Collection: Morning
I have never understood cards my whole life. I could never learn card games, I didn't have the patience for them.Collection: Patience
I got guarded for a little while, because I made a teen movie.Collection: Teen
The birth of everyone's sexuality, in a way, I think, is based off of one's relationship with their parents.Collection: Relationship
There are some funny people online.Collection: Funny
Playing rugby made my dad proud. Being in the theater made my mom proud. So if I could play to both sides of how I was raised, then how could I lose? And that sounds like a hindsight thing, but I knew it at the time.Collection: Mom
There are days when you just sit at home, and those days are tough. Because it's like, 'I have a swimming pool and a television and a couch and a tree, and I can't have Sunday lunch with my mum.'Collection: Home
It's always there, it's in your bones, every single piece of grief or loss or happiness or sadness you feel in your life is there.Collection: Happiness
I didn't finish university, I barely finished high school. All I know is from the books I've read, and the plays that I've read.
My theory is, you never know when you are going to end up in a hospital waiting room.
I don't have a phone.
Let's be honest - I have no interest in going to the beach and looking like The Rock.
I'd been in L.A. for about a year, I didn't have any work and I had no money. I didn't really have anywhere to live and I was in my car and on mates' couches. My visa had like two weeks before it expired, so I was going to dip out and go back to Australia.
I try to kind of come at everything as a blank canvas.
I did 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' and 'Seussical.' From there I took drama classes. And then from about 15, there was not much else for me to do.
You can still feel lonely with new people around because you need that home base.
It's incredibly humbling to feel like you're part of something that's seemingly a big part of the current time. It's incredibly surreal.
I'm still a firm believer that if you do good work then hopefully you'll be able to keep working. I might land flat on my face with that, but it's not something I really spend a lot of time thinking about.
After 'Euphoria,' the coolest shift happened. It put me on the radar, that I could maybe act, and it allowed me to sit down with these guys whose work I admire - they knew my work and they had enjoyed it. So I could have these really adult, creative conversations with like-minded people.
It's a slippery slope to put all your value into the vanity of what your body looks like. Your body is going to deteriorate.
If it makes you happy, I feel like you should wear it.
Whatever works, you know. As long as you get to that place between action and cut.
I have a resting miserable face!
I would never stop anything, whether it be running or riding a bike up a hill. To this day, I will never, ever stop.
I don't want to lose the entirety of who I was when I was little.
I was trying to prove myself and be known as an actor.
I don't want to look at everything from the outside. I want to be in it. I want to see it all from my eyes.
I still want to be in touch with my younger self, which is everything that I am.
I just want to be a part of the world.
I would never train shirtless.
I had this abundance of confidence in myself because I could do both: I was quite good at sport, and I think I was quite good at theatre.
I was fifteen and terrified of all body hair.
I don't have a designated cheat day, I feel like you can get so dogmatic about that kind of stuff. I have kind of an Anthony Bourdain approach; enjoy it while it's there. Eat the hamburger, drink the beer.
The Kissing Booth' was the first film I ever made - it was sort of my ticket to Hollywood, so I was really grateful for that.
For me, acting is breathing.
I never was worried that my peers would think that I was less than a man.
I knew the calibre of work that I wanted to do and I'm just lucky that I've been able to step up and do it so early on.
I think we hold love in our DNA, and in our bones, and I don't think it ever really goes away.
When I first moved to L.A., my mum just bought me a cupboard full of vitamins. Cod liver oil, echinacea, magnesium.
I always had short back and sides because of the movies and shows. I'd always wanted a mullet. My mom never let me have one because she wanted me to be a gentleman, presentable.
She's like my sister. Zendaya is an amazing creative, you know? She's super dope to work with.
I wanted to make things like 'Euphoria' before I even came to Hollywood, when I was still in high school.
I don't really feel like I'm building a career or trying to be this kind of actor or that kind of actor.
There's a smorgasbord of films that are out there and you never even hear about, which are just absolutely incredible.
I don't watch a lot of - I don't know anything about the awards, really. It's kind of like fashion. Not my business.
I wasn't booking jobs. I think I had - I don't know, $400 or $800 left in my bank account - and 'Euphoria' was my last audition before I went home for a little while to make some money and recuperate.
My car was like a hoarder's, stacked with boxes and coat hangers and things.
I hated being a character to the public.
It felt like, all of a sudden, I was a poster. Like I was a billboard. It felt like it was for sale.
