I had a birthday party with my family and friends at a house, and Chipotle catered. It was beautiful.

I don't believe in spending money lavishly, now that I'm making money.

I think my parents raised me well. And I'm pretty straight edge. All my friends make fun of me for being straight edge.

I watched 'Billy Madison' maybe 80 times. It's my favourite movie. Watched it, like, a million times. My brother and sister watched it with me all the time.

I don't want anyone part of my love life besides me and the person I'm loving.

I just think a lot of people don't give credit to EDM producers or DJs. People think they're just button pushers and just get on stage and don't really perform.

Growing up on, say, the Upper East Side, you're so isolated. If you go to the Hamptons every weekend, you never talk to a construction worker, and the construction worker would never talk to you.

I'm not really too worried about what I'm gonna do next, because I just think of my career as, like, having sixty years ahead of me.

'East of Eden' is an important story for me. It's about a kid that's misunderstood and feels like he's not loved by his father. It's a very father-son kind of story, and it's not until the end that they sort of make up. I like that because every boy has trouble with his father, so it's very relatable.

The first show I did was 'The Nutcracker' ballet. I was one of the kids who comes out in the beginning.

A lot of high school students on TV and in Broadway are played by people in their late 20s and even early 30s. That seems weird to me.

I think it would be ridiculous to work with Tom Hardy. I hear some crazy things about him, and he's also really good.

When you're crafting a character, it's good to have a lot of influences.

I'm not that big of a reader, to be honest.

I like to go on really nice dates. I've made some money, but I don't spend it on anything besides my rent. But I go to nice dinners. And I like to go with a girl.

When I was in lower school, I graduated from fourth grade, and the principal gave us a summer assignment to take a 30-minute reflection period every day. And, of course, there were no cell phones at the time. She said to just think. And that's lost. It doesn't exist anymore. Just imagine being on a couch and just thinking.

I'll work thirteen hours at a time producing a new track. Not a lot of people understand that - not girlfriends, friends, family.

The first movie I ever cried at was when I was 10 years old and saw 'The Notebook' in theaters. I was like, 'Whoa, so weird. Crying at a movie? I'm not supposed to do that. So weird.' I didn't know that art could make you do that.

Any real person has a front and a real part to themselves.

Most actors nowadays are models turned actors. That's why a lot of young actors are terrible. You have to learn how to act. It is not something that you can just do.
