Katherine Langford

“Anything written in the French Revolution, that kind of era, is so poignant.”

“I love 'Star Trek: Voyager!'”

“Being depressed is not a beautiful tragedy - it's hell and it's agony. Posting photos of someone that you don't have the consent for is illegal, and that's a huge, huge issue. We need to be teaching consent, and that's not just for photos.”

“When you're 16 and when you're 17, you're kind of walking that fine line of being an adult and legally being able to look out for yourself, while being able to look out for yourself and being treated as a child.”

“Don't let yourself be small because you want to fit in.”

“I think you always, with anything, need to have different viewpoints.”

“I've always been a little left-of-center at school.”

“I loved music, acting, and drama, but these weren't something I pursued until I was 19.”

“What's important is for us to be aware that our actions have repercussions.”

“I love the opportunity to affect change in people's lives.”

“Things like putting around a list and having your name on a list that objectifies you, that's a big deal, and it can have big consequences.”

“I had my first screen-acting class in March 2015, and I was, like, 18, turning 19, so it's a risk trying to get into acting when you're that 'old,' in inverted commas.”

“I love sci-fi and period pieces - it's fantasy. I can let myself dream a little bit. But also, I just really love science. I love knowing about how the world works.”

“I just want to keep doing good projects with good people.”

“Bullying has existed forever. Everyone has dealt with it, and teenagers, regardless of where they are, are dealing with the same stuff growing up.”

“When you watch stuff that is YA, it looks like it's been made YA. It doesn't look real.”

“I'm a big historical-fiction fan.”

“It isn't that easy to drop character, especially when you shoot for 12 to 16 hours a day for six months.”

“I don't have Twitter, but Lady Gaga tweeted at me - like, reposted an interview where I was fangirling - and wrote, 'Katherine' with a love heart. And I kind of freaked out a little bit.”

“Often, when you're growing up, you don't know what's wrong. We don't talk openly enough about mental illness. How do you know - especially today with the incredibly high stress teens are put under during high school - if you have depression or if you have a mental illness or if you have anxiety? You don't know, because you've never seen it.”
