Quotes

“I don’t get starstruck ever, but for some reason, [I did] meeting Adam Sandler. He just has this presence. He was the nicest guy ever. Now, every time he sees me, he’s like, “Hey.” He remembers you, he’s a genuine human being.”

“I’m such a private person. I’ve gotten this since high school — girls would never speak to me and I think that’s why I didn’t have a lot of friends. Then, when I would finally speak to them, they would be like, “Oh, you’re not a bitch.” I think just because, in high school especially, I was very introverted, and if I don’t know you, I can be really shy.”

“[In Euphoria] We show drugs, we show sex, we show violence. We show all of these things, but we really don’t glorify it; we show a lot of the consequences.”

“I’ve always known I wanted to be really successful and create whatever I want to create. I’m a musician, and I love fashion. And I want to direct and write my own stuff. There are so many other parts of me.”

““You just have to keep going, even if you don’t see the reward right away, because it’s going to come at some point. The universe knows what it’s doing. You just have to trust it.”

“I like the activities of school, but I like to do it on my own accord. So as soon as I got to the [college] orientation, and they were telling us what to do, I was like, I need to get out of here.”

“My philosophy is why wait around? Create your own thing. So that’s what I’m doing.”
