Sadie Sink
I'm usually the kind of person where if someone tells me, 'Oh my God, you have to watch this show. It's amazing,' I kind of want to go against it and not watch it. But for 'Stranger Things,' I couldn't resist. I had to watch it.Collection: Amazing

If the vegan diet doesn't work out for you, at least you can do something for animals - whether that's the way you eat or the way you dress, everything helps, really.Collection: Diet
I don't always enjoy them, but when a scary movie has a really good storyline, that gets me interested.
Not everybody has their first kiss in front of 200 extras and their mom.
To see that the campaign I did for Kate Spade is on the home page, that's insane. The number of times I've logged onto this website and just dreamed about all these clothes, and now I'm in this campaign - I'm so blessed.
I'd always just look at Chanel and Kate Spade and think how incredible these brands were.
If I'm ever wearing a super-flowy dress, I like to toughen it up with a boot or something.
I have, like, a playlist with all my favourite songs on it. Sadie's Playlist is the soundtrack of my life. 'Wonderwall' by Oasis, 'Under The Bridge' by Red Hot Chili Peppers, TLC, 'Waterfalls' - I love the '90s.
I never really had a celebrity crush when I was little. I know some of my friends have posters up on their bedroom wall; I was never really about that.
I live in New Jersey, so I kind of just go to New York whenever.
It's so easy to be insecure about your looks or if you're wearing the right clothes, or your hair and makeup. And I think it's just so important to stay true to who you are.
My mom always plays Madonna in the car, so I was kind of familiar with what she was into in the '80s.
I realized that, as a woman, you have an obligation to be a feminist.
I've always been laid back, go with the flow.
Chicken and waffles! I'm obsessed with those.
I just don't want to believe in ghosts, ghouls and spirits.
You need to be silly sometimes.
I would write scripts and little plays and perform them in the living room for my family when I was little with my brother until my mom said, 'Alright, you need to go do it somewhere else other than the house.'
I see some kids whose social media is their whole world, and I actually think it's good to disconnect from that.
I have not seen 'It' because I don't like horror movies. I don't mess with clowns or demons.
College is right for some people, and it's not for others. I shouldn't rush into it just because that's what everyone does after high school is you go to college.
In 'White Christmas,' I wasn't the main part.
I don't have speed dial, but if I had one, it would probably be my mum.
I've definitely grown up, but I'm the same Sadie now that I would have been, even if I wasn't on 'Stranger Things.'
My Miu Miu gown at the Golden Globes was the first time I had anything custom-made for me.
I realised what goes on in the egg industry and the dairy industry, so then I was like, 'That's it! Going vegan!' and I just kind of went cold turkey, basically.
If you're a child, and you're on Broadway, you automatically know every other child in a production.
I want to go to college, definitely. If it's possible, I want to.
Since when I was little, I would always write a script and tell my sister, 'Read this line. I'm going to film it.'
I think there's this misconception about vegans, that it's impossible, and they're crazy or whatever. But it's not like that. You can be vegan and still be really chill.
My friend had told me about 'Stranger Things' and how I had to watch it. I was like, 'OK, I will!' I binged it in, like, a day and was like, 'Oh my gosh, Mom, you need to watch this show. Everyone needs to watch this.' A week later, I got the breakdown for Max. A month later, I got the part.
I go through so many different phases, just like every teenage girl does.
Now it's like, I'll go to Starbucks, or I'll go to the mall or anywhere, and lots of people will recognize me, and I'm like, 'Oh, wow, this is actually a thing now; this is happening.' It can get a little bit crazy at times, but I love meeting people, and people shouldn't feel scared to come up to me and say 'Hi.'
I've been compared to a lot of redheads. Here's the thing though: you can look nothing like somebody, but if you both have red hair, all of a sudden people think you look exactly the same.
I have more interesting things to post on social media, now that I'm going to Venice and stuff like that, instead of, you know, going to school and sitting on my couch.
It's become easier to speak up for myself.
I'm not just edgy, and I'm not just into a tomboy look, and I'm not just girly. I do what I want, and if I like something, I'll wear it.
I'm a very lazy person, so I don't really do things or go out very much, but when I do get out of the house, I do get recognized a lot.
I think, often, child actors are, like, overlooked a little bit.
I worked with a skateboarding instructor for three hours every day. We would go to the park and do ramps. I had to wear a ridiculous amount of gear - elbow pads, knee pads, every kind of pad, plus a helmet - to stop myself from getting hurt.
I knew the big following 'Stranger Things' had, and I really liked the show, but even if I hadn't known what the show was, I still really related to the character, and I really liked the material.
I'll skateboard now and then from time to time.
I watched the 'Food, Inc.' documentary and was like, 'This has opened my eyes to the meat industry - maybe I should go vegetarian.' And my friend told me, 'Sadie, you're not gonna last a week.' But I'm very competitive.
I'm passionate about encouraging girls to be confident in their own skin.
I'm 16, and I'm still self-conscious. Everyone is at this age.
For me, fashion is one of the biggest changes. I never got to wear Chanel or anything like that, growing up, or really experience fashion the way I get to now.
I'm not really about spending every second on social media. I think there's a lot more useful things you can do with your time.
I've always kind of had this interest in fashion.
I always felt stupid at the skate park. Everyone else is just wiping out and getting hurt, but they didn't even have helmets and knee pads - and I'm over here looking like some kind of marshmallow. I felt so ridiculous.
