Everyone thinks they're the hero in their own story.
Some people say, 'Oh, you look just like the guy from 'Stranger Things.' And I'm like, 'I am the guy.' And they think I'm totally joking.
The best sequels throughout time keep what you really like about the first thing, but they aren't afraid to do their own thing for the next season and kind of grow, in a way.
I'd say that every haircut I've had has been a bad haircut.
Do I get recognized? I guess it depends on if I'm wearing a hat or not. The hairdo is a dead giveaway. There's nothing I can do. It's just the way my hair grows.
I don't wash my hair really too much, and I just roll out of bed and try to push it out of my eyes.
For a long time, my dad was always on me about cutting my hair. 'Get a haircut. Gel your hair. You've got to do something to get your hair to stay down. It's too big; get it down! It's too crazy.'
I have four sisters, three younger sisters, so I've been an older sibling to people before.
I definitely wasn't a perfect person in high school. That is the time to make mistakes, especially with significant others and also with friends.
I really liked sports and athletic stuff, but I was a total nerd.
It's not like I really do anything for my hair; I just wash it every three to four days.
I can't even imagine being Matt and Ross Duffer.
Everybody's asking me what type of shampoo I use, and I'm like... 4 years of buildup right here.
Cate Blanchett is somebody who's transformed herself in so many different ways and worked with so many amazing actors and directors. If I was gonna model my career after somebody's, it would definitely be hers.
I wear pretty tight jeans in real life.
To put it simply, people who are strangers to me will come up and say, 'Are you that guy from that show?' I'll be like, 'Yeah,' and they'll say, 'Oh, nice job.' And really, for the most part, it's people showing appreciation for the work you've done.
When I first auditioned for 'Stranger Things,' I was just living in Chicago. Just looking for a job. Working at a restaurant, doing commercials and bit parts on shows. I honestly would have been happy booking anything.
I had friends - and I had situations - where you spend so much time hanging out with your girlfriend that you lose touch with other people. You only really have this one person - and when that person starts to let go, you almost feel like you need to clamp on even harder, you know?
Certain things will always hurt: rejection, or loss.
I was pretty obsessed with 'Saturday Night Live.'
