Red carpets seem so glamorous, but you're really just standing there sweating and worrying your hair is going to fall. And in the end, people are only going to see one picture of you.

When I moved to New York, I feel like a lot of things widened within my perspective and as I spend some time here - as everyone does when they're that age or a young person - [you] figure out your own ideals or figure out the way you fit into society a little bit more than you did before.Collection: New York

Even the creative things feel mathematic, almost.Collection: Creative
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.Collection: Sex
I find it really weird that sexuality is still so taboo in films and violence isn't. It really bewilders me.Collection: Violence
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.Collection: New York
It's hard to do things like auditions, because you don't want to put weeks of work into just an audition.Collection: Want
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.Collection: Distance
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.Collection: Growing Up
I'm very good at living out of a suitcase. I love dressing up every morning. It feels like a costume, in some ways.Collection: Morning
