I was 13 and a teenager, as well. When you’re that age, you want to be an adult, in a way, but you don’t want to have the responsibilities of an adult. You still want to have the freedom.
I love the ’70s, I’m very into that right now. The long Chloe dresses, very Virgin Suicides.
In a funny way, I like the past, I’m a very nostalgic person.
I get very emotional about time periods I never lived in, but I have a weird connection to them. The mystery of it becomes about hearing the stories of those eras, and creating nostalgia from those stories.
I think as an artist that’s the best thing you can have – a personal stamp on something.
I was always a fan of Nic. With his movie, you know it’s “A Nic Refn Movie.”
In a funny way, acting, to me, is all make-believe, even if the film has unicorns in it or is a normal movie that can be set in real-life time. I’m still imagining that I’m a different character, so it’s all, in a funny way, like fantasy.
I want to write and direct a movie one day.
I used to play sports in school, but it was hard to do that because you’re part of a team and you don’t want to let your team down.
I go to ballet five days a week. I would love to go to a fashion show one day, because I never have.
I remember going to the wardrobe-fitting for the first time and seeing all the cool high-waisted jeans and halter-tops – and that style is coming back anyway – so I loved that!
As my sister got older, I saw how excited she got when she got to do all of that stuff. I was always like, “One day, I’ll get to do older parts.” I thought that was cool.
I would love to go to Paris. I have to go to Paris. I would love to go there, that’s like my dream.
I always try to do something very different with each character because that’s why I like to do this, because I can become someone else completely and it’s fun.
The hardest thing that I’ll ever do, is ballet. Because you are either good or bad.
You have to have a balance between your normal life and movies.
I get a lot of butterflies at auditions because I get so scared. It’s scary because you’ve never met the people before. You have to meet them, and you have to hurry up and get to know them in five seconds. And then, you have to spill your emotions out to these strangers. It’s funny.
I bite my nails so bad. They’re awful! My nails are so ugly. I need to stop biting them.
I would love to work with my sister in a movie one day – like play sisters or something like that, because we’ve never been on-screen at the same time together.
To be an actor or actress, you have to feel on a deep level and tap into emotions that you’ve never felt before. You’re imagining how something would feel. You have to use your imagination so much.
