Finn Wolfhard

“I learn a new thing every single day about acting, about directing, about producing.”

“I love acting, of course, and I would still love to keep acting, but I want to try my hands at so many things.”

“Everyone wants to be funny. Maybe not everyone, but to an extent.”

“There's a band from Brooklyn called Frankie Cosmos, which is very nice.”

“There's always something really bad that happens in 'Stranger Things,' I think the more fun we're having at the beginning, the higher the drop.”

“I love being Canadian.”

“I love Nirvana, Joy Division, and New Order - older alternative, I guess.”

“The Goonies' I love. 'Heathers' too.”

“I usually just watch YouTube videos or reruns on Netflix of older TV shows like 'Family Guy' and stuff. But I still really want to start watching more TV.”

“I wanted to be a director and comedian and my plan was to go to NYU. I wanted to be in UCB.”

“My whole thing is having the perfect balance. Let's say I go to school. I have a day at school. That's the perfect amount of reality. Then I go and play music with my band. Then I go home and hang out with my family and my pets. I think that's the perfect amount of reality time.”

“It's my given, full name. Finn's not short for anything; it's just Finn Wolfhard. And then Wolfhard means, I think, heart of the wolf in German.”

“I have lots of friends who are musicians and it is such a huge victory to survive in music, period - but if you get sick or injured and don't have the kind of coverage we get in Canada, you are doomed.”

“I've really never discovered a band from Spotify or anything. I've really only discovered it from friends.”

“The Duffers like that; they like watching their characters grow.”

“I really would not be where I am today if I hadn't done those PUP videos. It just showed me so much. It taught me so much about music and acting and being your own boss.”

“The aliens from 'Attack the Block' - I thought they were some of the most unique and creative movie monsters I had ever seen. From the jet-black hair to the neon blue teeth.”

“People deal with death differently; some even laugh at funerals.”

“I've been asked to school dances.”

“PUP introduced me to so much more amazing music. They really shaped my sound.”
