I don't have social media. I don't have Facebook or Instagram or Snapchat.
I meditate - very pretentious - and I try to read as much as I can and swim at the Y.
I would absolutely be interested in doing a Broadway production if it was the right project. But my dream is to be writing pieces of theater for my best friends and putting on plays in New York City and seeing our vision come alive. I just hope to always be creating.
I did a theater program the summer of my junior year, and that's when I really fell in love with the craft of acting. It became more about the craft and less about being a working actor.
I have allergic reactions: it triggers my gag reflex when I read unrealistic dialogue from a teenager.
This is my life! I'm not getting a lot of sleep, but I am getting a lot of frequent-flyer miles.
In my bedroom, I have my yoga mat and the puppets I've made over the years, and because I'm very into smells, I have some burned sage on my bedside to help clear my head.
I grew up playing squash. I have all these squash trophies in my room... I was, like, third in the country.
I don't know what's in store for me, but I know that I want to create work, and I want to create an environment where I can bring in my favorite people and collaborate with them, and do something that is so much weirder and so different from what you'd see in commercial film.
In high school, I made friends with people in every social group. Or at least that's how I perceived it. I thought they liked me. Maybe they didn't!
Ultimately, I think what I want from my career is to be able to create work for myself, and there's only so much you can do as an actor in a movie.
If I have a career in theater, and nobody knows who I am, I'm all right with that.
My dad's a filmmaker, and my mom's an actress. She was the original understudy, actually, for Harper in 'Angels in America' and did the show for about several months while she was pregnant with my older brother. And so I grew up obsessed with film and filmmaking.
My problem with my parents growing up was not that I was afraid to cry in front of them - they always wanted me to cry because they wanted me to be okay, but it felt kind of icky and gross to cry in front of my parents. So my problem was the polar opposite - I didn't want to cry in front of them because I didn't want to give them the satisfaction.
I did the plays in middle school. I was cast as a gate in my fourth grade play, and every year I got a bigger role. Then, in 7th grade, I played Smike in 'Nicholas Nickleby,' and the casting director saw me and asked me to audition for a movie. That movie led to me getting 'Moonrise Kingdom.'
I think I was born to be a clown. I just haven't figured out how to bring that side of myself into the world of filmmaking. It's much more comfortable for me to cry on a film set than it is to tell a joke.
It's nauseating for me when I feel like I'm not growing or challenging myself.
I know that I want to consistently return to doing plays. That's one of the most important things because I think it's the best place for me to learn how to act.
I am somebody who never came close to a physical altercation, because I was too scared of even getting near one - I'd probably just start crying.
I believe that a great character can be made in one scene, or a few moments.
