When I first auditioned for 'Stranger Things,' I was just living in Chicago. Just looking for a job. Working at a restaurant, doing commercials and bit parts on shows. I honestly would have been happy booking anything.
Cate Blanchett is somebody who's transformed herself in so many different ways and worked with so many amazing actors and directors. If I was gonna model my career after somebody's, it would definitely be hers.
For a long time, my dad was always on me about cutting my hair. 'Get a haircut. Gel your hair. You've got to do something to get your hair to stay down. It's too big; get it down! It's too crazy.'
Do I get recognized? I guess it depends on if I'm wearing a hat or not. The hairdo is a dead giveaway. There's nothing I can do. It's just the way my hair grows.
All of the John Carpenter movies scared the crap out of me when I was a kid.
I definitely wasn't a perfect person in high school. That is the time to make mistakes, especially with significant others and also with friends.
I've primarily worked with actors the same age as me for the past four years, so working with somebody who is 10 years younger than me, you learn a whole different set of skills.
