My friend had told me about 'Stranger Things' and how I had to watch it. I was like, 'OK, I will!' I binged it in, like, a day and was like, 'Oh my gosh, Mom, you need to watch this show. Everyone needs to watch this.' A week later, I got the breakdown for Max. A month later, I got the part.
I'm a very lazy person, so I don't really do things or go out very much, but when I do get out of the house, I do get recognized a lot.
My Miu Miu gown at the Golden Globes was the first time I had anything custom-made for me.
My mom always plays Madonna in the car, so I was kind of familiar with what she was into in the '80s.
I've been compared to a lot of redheads. Here's the thing though: you can look nothing like somebody, but if you both have red hair, all of a sudden people think you look exactly the same.
I'll skateboard now and then from time to time.
I'm 16, and I'm still self-conscious. Everyone is at this age.
For me, fashion is one of the biggest changes. I never got to wear Chanel or anything like that, growing up, or really experience fashion the way I get to now.
I'm not really about spending every second on social media. I think there's a lot more useful things you can do with your time.
I always felt stupid at the skate park. Everyone else is just wiping out and getting hurt, but they didn't even have helmets and knee pads - and I'm over here looking like some kind of marshmallow. I felt so ridiculous.
I'm open to trying multiple different types of styles.
When I'm at home doing nothing, obviously I don't really dress up.
Before, I would just only stick to a few certain colors that were considered good for my skin tone and good for my hair. But ever since 'Stranger Things,' the wardrobe people there, they would always stick me in these super bright colors. I discovered all these new colors that I just like wearing.
I go through so many different phases, just like every teenage girl does.
I think that's what's so fun about fashion: that I don't have to be defined by one particular style. It's whatever I'm feeling that day.
College is right for some people, and it's not for others. I shouldn't rush into it just because that's what everyone does after high school is you go to college.
Comfort is number one for me with shoes. I like to do a test walk in heels to make sure I won't fall or get crazy blisters.
It's become easier to speak up for myself.
For the Emmys, my friend Rooney Mara designed a dress for me with her brand, Hiraeth. It's so neat to see a sketch turn into a full-on look.
I would write scripts and little plays and perform them in the living room for my family when I was little with my brother until my mom said, 'Alright, you need to go do it somewhere else other than the house.'
