I live in New Jersey, so I kind of just go to New York whenever.
Sadie Sink
I never really had a celebrity crush when I was little. I know some of my friends have posters up on their bedroom wall; I was never really about that.
I'm not just edgy, and I'm not just into a tomboy look, and I'm not just girly. I do what I want, and if I like something, I'll wear it.
I have, like, a playlist with all my favourite songs on it. Sadie's Playlist is the soundtrack of my life. 'Wonderwall' by Oasis, 'Under The Bridge' by Red Hot Chili Peppers, TLC, 'Waterfalls' - I love the '90s.
You need to be silly sometimes.
I watched the 'Food, Inc.' documentary and was like, 'This has opened my eyes to the meat industry - maybe I should go vegetarian.' And my friend told me, 'Sadie, you're not gonna last a week.' But I'm very competitive.
I'm passionate about encouraging girls to be confident in their own skin.
I knew the big following 'Stranger Things' had, and I really liked the show, but even if I hadn't known what the show was, I still really related to the character, and I really liked the material.
I realised what goes on in the egg industry and the dairy industry, so then I was like, 'That's it! Going vegan!' and I just kind of went cold turkey, basically.
I have not seen 'It' because I don't like horror movies. I don't mess with clowns or demons.
Chicken and waffles! I'm obsessed with those.
I'm usually the kind of person where if someone tells me, 'Oh my God, you have to watch this show. It's amazing,' I kind of want to go against it and not watch it. But for 'Stranger Things,' I couldn't resist. I had to watch it.
Now it's like, I'll go to Starbucks, or I'll go to the mall or anywhere, and lots of people will recognize me, and I'm like, 'Oh, wow, this is actually a thing now; this is happening.' It can get a little bit crazy at times, but I love meeting people, and people shouldn't feel scared to come up to me and say 'Hi.'
I think, often, child actors are, like, overlooked a little bit.
If you're a child, and you're on Broadway, you automatically know every other child in a production.
I just don't want to believe in ghosts, ghouls and spirits.
We were at a Giants game, and my manager told me, 'Sadie, you have an audition for a show called 'Stranger Things,'' and I had just finished binge-watching it in a few days.
As much as I've always dreamed of going to college, I have to think about whether it is the right decision for me.
I don't have speed dial, but if I had one, it would probably be my mum.
Since when I was little, I would always write a script and tell my sister, 'Read this line. I'm going to film it.'
Comfort is number one for me with shoes. I like to do a test walk in heels to make sure I won't fall or get crazy blisters.
Not everybody has their first kiss in front of 200 extras and their mom.
I worked with a skateboarding instructor for three hours every day. We would go to the park and do ramps. I had to wear a ridiculous amount of gear - elbow pads, knee pads, every kind of pad, plus a helmet - to stop myself from getting hurt.
It's so easy to be insecure about your looks or if you're wearing the right clothes, or your hair and makeup. And I think it's just so important to stay true to who you are.
I realized that, as a woman, you have an obligation to be a feminist.
I love learning new things from the other actors.
My mom always plays Madonna in the car, so I was kind of familiar with what she was into in the '80s.
If I'm ever wearing a super-flowy dress, I like to toughen it up with a boot or something.
I see some kids whose social media is their whole world, and I actually think it's good to disconnect from that.
I've always kind of had this interest in fashion.
My dad's a teacher and a football coach, and he found a job in New Jersey.
I think there's this misconception about vegans, that it's impossible, and they're crazy or whatever. But it's not like that. You can be vegan and still be really chill.
I'm a huge 'Back to the Future' fan.
My Miu Miu gown at the Golden Globes was the first time I had anything custom-made for me.
I've always been laid back, go with the flow.
Broadway's a little different from Houston, but it's not a big difference.
My stylist told me Chanel wanted to dress me for the 'Stranger Things' premiere. It was such a big deal for me, knowing that Chanel wanted to work with me and that I was gonna go to one of my first big red carpets wearing Chanel. That was such a huge moment for me.
College is right for some people, and it's not for others. I shouldn't rush into it just because that's what everyone does after high school is you go to college.
I'm not really about spending every second on social media. I think there's a lot more useful things you can do with your time.
I would write scripts and little plays and perform them in the living room for my family when I was little with my brother until my mom said, 'Alright, you need to go do it somewhere else other than the house.'
I'd always just look at Chanel and Kate Spade and think how incredible these brands were.
I want to go to college, definitely. If it's possible, I want to.
I've always loved fashion, but I think that right now, it's hit its peak - I'm just so obsessed with clothes and paying attention to brands and collections. I guess 16 is kind of the age when you start to develop opinions on all that and knowing what suits your style.
I don't always enjoy them, but when a scary movie has a really good storyline, that gets me interested.
There was one time during my busiest month when I went into school, and they were like, 'Sadie, where's your calculator? The PSAT is today.' I was like, 'The what?' Luckily, it was the practice one, but I still had to text my dad and get him to bring me my graphing calculator.
I have more interesting things to post on social media, now that I'm going to Venice and stuff like that, instead of, you know, going to school and sitting on my couch.
If the vegan diet doesn't work out for you, at least you can do something for animals - whether that's the way you eat or the way you dress, everything helps, really.
To see that the campaign I did for Kate Spade is on the home page, that's insane. The number of times I've logged onto this website and just dreamed about all these clothes, and now I'm in this campaign - I'm so blessed.
My friend had told me about 'Stranger Things' and how I had to watch it. I was like, 'OK, I will!' I binged it in, like, a day and was like, 'Oh my gosh, Mom, you need to watch this show. Everyone needs to watch this.' A week later, I got the breakdown for Max. A month later, I got the part.
I'm a very lazy person, so I don't really do things or go out very much, but when I do get out of the house, I do get recognized a lot.
