There comes a real loneliness in celebrity where you're constantly told you're part of an out group in your own society.
We were at this point of recognisability where we couldn't even walk around anymore... I was really socially anxious and strange.
My secret pleasure is painting these little mini figures that you send into battle - they're called Warhammer figures. It's the nerdiest thing in the world, but it's a lot of fun. It's relaxing; that's the main reason I do it.
Something Dylan and I really don't care much for is leaning into the identical twin thing. It doesn't make sense.
I come from an educational environment that really praises, as do I, the forms of representation that are otherwise lacking in our public media.
Going to college made me realize you have to have real spaces of privacy, and you have to establish those early.
I believe every photographer is influenced by their sexual preference in a greater or lesser way, and it certainly has affected me.
I think there's still a lot of room in 'Riverdale' for that. Asexuality is not one of those things, in my research, that is so understood at face value, and I think maybe the development of that narrative could also be something very interesting and very unique and still resonate with people and not step on anyone's toes.
I'm a believer that we should support various forms of representation because they clearly resonate with unheard groups of people, and for such a huge project like 'Riverdale,' this kind of representation is fundamentally important.
My background with acting is deeply interwoven with my family life and my childhood. It's a 'Peter Pan'-like narrative, something that was golden but could also be a bit dubious.
The way Jughead talks to Archie and vice versa is very much the way I would talk to my twin.
Y'know, I think, inherently, when you hear something like a teenage narrative come into play, even the idea that it's being called 'teenage' is a notion that it's being reduced to a problem that's not quite adult. That's a problematic thing to say about a narrative that could actually be dangerous, could be hurtful, could be upsetting.
Whenever someone says, or whenever someone harkens back to, a golden age of the U.S. - usually the '40s or '50s - 90 percent of the time, they're a straight white man.
No man is an island, especially not Jughead.
Acting requires a great amount of empathy for real lived human experiences.
My Twitter is a joke toilet, and I filter all these old, cringe-y parts of my brother and my childhood through that in an attempt to flush it down the drain forever.
Maybe it was escapism, but I had become obsessed with going to remote locations and keeping myself behind the camera.
Photography is a pursuit that allows you to be very hands-on with what you show people of either yourself or the art you want to make, and acting is kind of the exact opposite. You do have a modicum of creative freedom as an actor, but you're still very much a cipher for other people's art.
If you're a photographer, you end up being the raw creative force that allows other people to see what kind of narrative you want to be giving or what kind of art that you want people to see.
I think as long as acting feels fulfilling and continues to feel fulfilling, it's worth it to me.
