I didn't know much about the 'Walking Dead' until after I booked the gig, and then I watched the first four seasons. I binge watched them in two weeks, and at that moment I realised, 'Oh, this is a much bigger thing than I thought it was.'
'The Walking Dead' do such a great job with that world. It is real, but it's also otherworldly; it's strangely theatrical, and I suddenly did become quite invested in the whole zombie phenomenon.
At first, I was saying to my rep, 'I don't know if this is really my thing.' I get heart palpitations just watching basic comedy-horror stuff.
'The 100' has such ferociously passionate fans.
Teen fandom is so potent. Any choice they make in pop culture forces the rest of the world to take notice.
That doomsday idea is in everybody's subconscious.
When I was younger, I could get that white-knuckle grip of holding on to an idea and not wanting to let it go.
Film is a lot different. You have the whole script in its entirety, and you have a couple of weeks to learn different scenes, really go over them and rehearse them so when you get to them they're more fleshed out. But TV shows are harder.
That's bizarre to see, L.A., downtown, and to feel like you're the only person there.
Playing normal is hard - especially playing normal that's not you.
I did go to a performing arts school, so that facilitated my creativity, though I ended up going in a more musical direction.
I studied classical percussion for ten years.
At one point, I was thinking about going to the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, but then I realized it's actually not what I wanted to do.
I was on Instagram or something, and I checked my tagged photos, and I realized that suddenly they were all LGBT artwork. I was like, 'Oh, my God!' I had no idea. It was the first time I realized I was a figure for that community.
Human beings will justify anything.
I've got good intuition.
I did watch the whole run of 'The Walking Dead.'
L.A. and America, in general, have this incredible hustle about them. There's this sense of momentum.
In L.A., it's not on the surface. Everything is in the cracks. The restaurant out front will look like this old, boring place, and you'll go inside, and it's this lush, beautifully designed restaurant.
Comic-Con is my jam!
