We live in a bubble of progression, and over the last eight years [of Barack Obama], we've been a country of progression.

I'd like to do something that hits close to home.

I'd like to do something for inner-city schools and education for young people because it's constantly being cut.

I've lived in a bubble my whole life. I never thought someone with those kind of views, who came across to me so ignorant every time he speaks, could ever be elected.

Why go around dating random girls and having terrible sex when you can be with someone you really like?

Donald Trump as a figurehead is the opposite of that - he's regression, he's taking a step backward.

We need to also act out, and anything that [Donald] Trump does, anything he's trying to do that we don't agree with or anything this country is doing in general that we don't agree with, we need to protest, we need to make our voices heard. And that has to go beyond Twitter - for me as well.

I love Marlon Brando and James Dean. That was when it was all about the star and the script. Nowadays, everything has to be action-packed.

When I was nine, I started doing ballet. That's when I knew that I was down to keep doing it.

I'm trying to have no regrets. I'm starting to learn about myself and how to live. As an actor, part of the job is accepting your life and learning how to roll with it. I want to live a life where I don't regret any decisions, and if I do, I learn from them.

Success is being artistically fulfilled and happy. You can't control how people see your movie or how much money it makes...and the same thing with music. When I'm writing a song or I'm in the studio, those memories, that's epic.

My dad would throw me in the picture if they needed an extra. From an early age, I understood the concept that, if you're not the star, then your job is to not pull attention away from the star.

I have a lot of weird interests, but everything I do is artistic.

I’ve never taken time off from being an actor. This is the kind of career I’d be so happy to do until I die. I always joke to myself that I want to have a postmortem Academy Award Nomination.

If you don't know my name and you don't know what movie I'm from, don't come ask for a picture while I'm trying to eat chipotle

I write music because I love it. Sometimes more than anything in the world.

I got starstruck not by someone who is famous, but by someone who's famous in the miniature painting community. When I was a kid, I used to paint miniatures. There were famous people in the miniature community from forums online. I went to some big event and I saw them in real life and I was so starstruck.
