“I think in public, people are much more sane than on the Internet.”

“I try to kind of come at everything as a blank canvas.”

“I feel like if you get told no, you should take the no, you know? Take the L, man, give up.”

“I wasn't booking jobs. I think I had - I don't know, $400 or $800 left in my bank account - and 'Euphoria' was my last audition before I went home for a little while to make some money and recuperate.”

“When I go outside, I'm like a mountain in public.”

“After 'Euphoria,' the coolest shift happened. It put me on the radar, that I could maybe act, and it allowed me to sit down with these guys whose work I admire - they knew my work and they had enjoyed it. So I could have these really adult, creative conversations with like-minded people.”

“I always had short back and sides because of the movies and shows. I'd always wanted a mullet. My mom never let me have one because she wanted me to be a gentleman, presentable.”

“I watched 'High School Musical.' I was actually a big fan of that. I watched 'Gossip Girl' start to finish. It's intense.”

“I don't want to lose the entirety of who I was when I was little.”

“My mom has videos of me with this great ginger curly wig, with red lipstick on, and my sister's purse. I don't remember ever resenting it or putting up much of a fight.”

“Don't be like Noah Flynn, I wouldn't want to be like that in real life.”

“The birth of everyone's sexuality, in a way, I think, is based off of one's relationship with their parents.”

“I wanted to make things like 'Euphoria' before I even came to Hollywood, when I was still in high school.”

“Let's be honest - I have no interest in going to the beach and looking like The Rock.”

“I never was worried that my peers would think that I was less than a man.”

“I don't want to look at everything from the outside. I want to be in it. I want to see it all from my eyes.”

“Playing rugby made my dad proud. Being in the theater made my mom proud. So if I could play to both sides of how I was raised, then how could I lose? And that sounds like a hindsight thing, but I knew it at the time.”

“I just want to be a part of the world.”

“I knew the calibre of work that I wanted to do and I'm just lucky that I've been able to step up and do it so early on.”

“I was trying to prove myself and be known as an actor.”
