I go to dinner with my friends, and we're like, 'Let's put our phones on airplane mode so we can really enjoy each other's company.' ”

I never really did that well in school because I was so absorbed with doing acting. ”

I don't do that much sampling. I create all my own sounds. ”

The Fault in Our Stars' is a beautiful film that's really positive. The second half gets sad, but it's always positive. ”

I would like to do more independent films. ”

I had a birthday party with my family and friends at a house, and Chipotle catered. It was beautiful. ”
