I want a happy family. ”

Anyone dying is not easy, but certainly not a mother. Me and my brother, we stuck together. The foster families were good to me, and then my nanny took me in. ”

I have confidence. I don't know where I got it from. ”

I just think the more you're in front of camera, the better: my main aim is just to tell the truth, be natural, and believe in what I'm doing, and hopefully that comes across as a rawness. ”

To be honest, I still get awestruck when I meet my heroes and the people I admire. I think that's only natural. ”

I don't think you ever really get used to it, do you? There's always another little level of shock in it and of being starstruck at the people you meet. And that's the beauty of it: you're always fascinated, because it's not a normal thing to do, is it, this acting game? ”

I wasn't stupid, or very smart. I didn't finish my education. ”

I recently was in the same room as Leonardo DiCaprio, and one of my favorite movies is 'Basketball Diaries.' That movie hits home for me in so many ways, and in that moment, I was like, 'I have to thank this dude.' So I did. ”

I do reach out to lads that I know who are my age: people like Charlie Plummer or Timothee Chalamet. ”

I think I would've found myself in the arts somewhere along the lines. If you're creative, you find something, eventually. ”
