I aspire to be that, to be a voice of reason one day.
I've never dated anybody older, actually. There are so many things I'm curious about, and I'd love to be able to say, "Teach me." I want to learn from the people around me.
I definitely don't think that I'm hot doo-doo. I don't.
Sometimes I bust out and do things so permanent. Like tattoos and marriage.
I just want to make sure I have a sense of balance between work and life, because work is my life and the lines can get really blurry.
My whole life, I've wanted to feel comfortable in my skin. It's the most liberating thing in the world.
If you're going to be alive and on this planet, you have to, like, suck the marrow out of every day and get the most out of it.
The stories that I want to tell, especially as a director, don't necessarily have a perfect ending because, the older you get, the more you appreciate a good day versus a happy ending. You understand that life continues on the next day; the reality of things is what happens tomorrow.
Whether you're throwing up or breaking up, you want your girlfriend right there! I don't trust women who don't go to their girlfriends.
When you're young, you're always wondering when you're actually going to feel like a grownup. And I think you probably fear it, in a sense, too. There's a danger to feeling like an adult... like this whimsical kid in you is going to die or something. And then all of a sudden, one day you kind of feel like an adult and it's really nice.
I think video village is bullshit. It's like it's a breeding ground for people to nitpick and feel important. It's just such a weird dynamic.
I used to look in the mirror and feel shame, I look in the mirror now and I absolutely love myself.
I'm just learning who I am and how relationships work and how to make them function. No different from anyone else.
Going back to Georgiana Drew and John Drew, and my great-grandfather Maurice Barrymore, and it was such a sort of circus of odd, interesting people that loved acting.
