I do ride my bike a lot.
Finn Wolfhard
I love retro culture. I love retro games; I love retro music.
I mean if anyone's comfortable being famous, they're a psychopath.
For me, I need to listen to music in the morning, and after, it's kind of like a shower, you know what I mean? It's kind of getting rid of everything. I always play music after I act. It's not a conscious thing, like, 'Oh finally, I need to do this,' it's kind of a constant need.
To see a hacker actually hacking is not the most interesting thing visually, and it's pretty boring as an actor: a hacker taps on her keyboard. There's really not much more than that.
It's going to sound cheesy, but if I have family and friends I don't really care where I am.
Sewer rats are really gross.
I wanted to do something in film. I wanted to make my own movies. Something clicked in my brain, like, 'Oh, I can physically act! I can go on open casting calls and audition for something.'
I'm good at reading people. If I wasn't an actor, I would be a psychologist.
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.
Well, I kind of did the math in my head when I was like, 9. I was like, 'Well, if I want to make films' - because I want to be a director - 'I could just go on a film set and learn there.' And then I ended up falling in love with acting and the set and making friends all the time. And so I've just been doing that ever since.
I don't take the Internet and social media very seriously. I've grown up around social media but to me what happens on the Internet just doesn't feel real.
I try to keep my voice natural for each character, but the spirit and the cadence and breathing for each character is totally different. It's those things that set each role apart from the others.
If I lounge around for too long, I get really bored. I have to be doing something.
I'm definitely not eager to grow up, but I do like some adult stuff.
During 'Stranger Things 3,' I shot 'It: Chapter Two,' so I would shoot on my days off, which was super tiring and stressful, but really rewarding at the same time. Basically, I shot 'It: Chapter Two' and 'Stranger Things 3' at the same time.
Jason Reitman is an amazing director; he's really amazing with his actors and crew.
I've been asked to school dances.
I definitely do have a persona onstage. I definitely am a completely different person, but I'm still having a lot of fun and there's a lot of acting that goes into it. But I haven't been playing many shows when I'm working on acting as much because it's tiring, number one. And number two, it's hard for your mind to makeup what it wants to do.
I love being Canadian.
It's intriguing to me, when I see a horror script, or something like that, that's actually original. I think that's why I love 'Stranger Things,' because it's not just horror, it's everything, and when they use horror it's right.
Obviously 'Stranger Things' has given me the launching pad to have creative license for whatever I want, and I love doing the show, but when it comes to music, I want to distance myself as much as possible.
I love acting, of course, and I would still love to keep acting, but I want to try my hands at so many things.
People deal with death differently; some even laugh at funerals.
I don't want to be mean to people. I try to be as nice as possible to everyone.
I wanted to be a director and comedian and my plan was to go to NYU. I wanted to be in UCB.
There's a band from Brooklyn called Frankie Cosmos, which is very nice.
I love '80s and '90s music.
I watch a lot of YouTube videos. I like game play channels like the Game Grumps. But I mostly watch sketch comedy.
The more I read scripts, the more I learn about scripts, basically.
One day I'm going to open up a club or a concert venue where it's all ages and really fun. That'd be awesome.
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.
PUP introduced me to so much more amazing music. They really shaped my sound.
I learn a new thing every single day about acting, about directing, about producing.
Most of the fans of Calpurnia are 'Stranger Things' fans, which is not a big deal at all. They're super loyal and incredible, and really do like the music. It's the people who aren't fans of the music and are just there because of 'Stranger Things' that really bother me.
It's really cool when the thing you are working on as a small team gets embraced by millions, but in the end, it's about your character and the script and your director and the rest of the cast and crew.
My dad would play 'The Blue Album' a lot, the first Weezer album, and that influenced my alternative indie thing and that's kind of how I found tons and most of my favorite bands.
If you don't realize that there are great rock bands out there, you should look for them.
I probably saw 'Jaws' when I was 10.
I need time to do whatever I want to do. What happens to an actor that has no life experience? They don't know how to act as a different role. So, that's really important to do.
My parents were in high school and college in the '80s, so let's just say I've heard some stuff, man. We listen to a lot of music and watch lots of great films, but the real context they provide from that era is about politics.
I'd actually love to do more comedy, but what I really wanna do is an indie drama - an intense indie road-trip movie.
I love Nirvana, Joy Division, and New Order - older alternative, I guess.
I guess with a Netflix show, if you're a kid, it's all dependent on how you're raised and if you have access to it.
My dad, who is a screenwriter, showed me all these great movies. He showed me 'E.T.' when I was 2-years-old, and I just kind of progressed from there. It was also my brother. We'd always watch movies together, and he'd do these voices and he'd always want to do skits and he'd come up with stuff with me.
I'd love to make a horror movie, that's definitely where I want to be one day.
I never knew anyone who have growing up who had a clown at their birthday party. They are something I think of as being from the past. So I never had strong feelings about them. I do think that they can be creepy, I guess it depends on the clown.
Some bands I'm obsessed with but I get sick of listening to their music after a while, but that hasn't happened with Twin Peaks.
Pup, who's like the most amazing, they're keeping rock 'n' roll and punk alive.
I think if I'm with a friend group, I try to be as funny as possible, and I don't always succeed, obviously.
