“It's very fun as an actor to be in the skin of Five and to have Diego as a brother. Those two characters, they both are very driven and determined, and where Five isn't as personable as he should be, Diego makes up for it.”

“I found out that the animal agriculture business has a huge impact on our climate, so by cutting down on your meat and dairy consumption, you can have a huge impact and help the environment.”

“Teens say there's nothing I can do because I have no vote. The truth is, the only vote that matters is how you spend your money and who you give it to. Each coin is giving power. Notice and be careful who you give your power to.”

“I believe that if today's youth work together raising our collective voice, we can affect the positive environmental change that Planet Earth needs so desperately.”

“I am committed to lending my voice and participating in action campaigns to support the U.N. Sustainable Development Goals that must be achieved by 2030.”

“I don't know that I could ever really pull off Ferris Bueller because that was done in such an iconic way already.”

“I get to play a 58-year-old time-traveling assassin. The role had a lot of layers to it that I knew would be fun to break down and figure out the motives behind.”

“I don't know that Five was a good person before he got stuck in the apocalypse, in a way that really made him a bit more open-minded.”

“Five has sort of had his own little life aside from everyone. He spent 45 years in the apocalypse, and that took a toll on him and was a big part of his overall trauma.”

“One thing people forget about is that behind the camera are hundreds of people without whom we couldn't make the show. Each of them is doing an important task, it's just the actors become the face of the series.”

“It's always fun to do another season of The Umbrella Academy.'”

“It's very fun to see how fans react and theorize and get excited about what might happen in future seasons.”

“When I key into the character of Five, I'm generally drawing upon a mental state - not so much thinking about the 58-year-old side of him, just the way he reacts to things.”

“He just gets progressively more and more stressed and as his anxiety builds up, so does the chaos behind his eyes. That was very fun as an actor to see that sort of bubble over and really take over Five, and him really succumb to his suppressed insanity.”

“One of the first things that I tried doing in terms of taking action on a personal level was trying this campaign called meatless Mondays' so one day a week I would try to adopt a plant-based diet.”

“I'm 15 and everything I'm doing right now is really exciting to me, so, actually, whatever I'm into at the moment, I'm somehow able to stay very focused on. I just keep moving forward.”

“You should cut down on your plastic consumption. Go get a reusable water bottle.”

“I'm actually an only child with very supportive parents, so I didn't have the sibling rivalry to draw from.”

“In the comics, there's a lot to sort of digest with Five. He's 58-years-old. He's trapped in this body. He has a genius level intellect. He's insane. He has a wife who's a mannequin. And when you're reading this on the page, it's just like, Wait, wait, what?'”

“Exposure is this thing people think they want but at the end of day it doesn't matter.”
