I've been acting since I was young because I wanted to, not because my parents wanted me to. My dad is a principal and mom is a middle school counselor, so acting was like, "Eh, whatever. As long as you get good grades." It's really fun, and nothing more.
I think every teenager goes through their angst. People who are like, 'No, I had a perfect adolescence,' make me wonder how that is possible.
The reason I keep acting is that it fuels some kind of passion in me, but the day that those butterflies stop, is the day that I'm gonna quit because I could care less about the magazines or being famous or the money or the awards.
There are a lot of mountains with a lot of water.
Do you guys have any raw garlic?
I only shampoo [my hair] once a month.
Clay is one of the best things you can put in your body.
Everything is sacred and nothing is sacred.
I never thought Hollywood is the life I want to do. I thought acting is the life I want to do.
Everything that I own and use are in a carry-on suitcase,
I live my life with a lot of integrity based on what I want for my life and who I am.
You really can't prepare for anything in life. The second you know what's going to happen, there's always a curve ball, so I'm just chillin', cruising along for the ride.
I feel like I'm kind of an obvious person. I like to keep some things in my life sacred, like keep the sacred, sacred. Apart from that part of my life, I'm a very open person.
Working with a green screen is so different than working with another human.
