When I'm Acting In A Film That

I Don't Really Need A Lot Of Help From A Director.

It's So Normal For A Teenager To Dress In Black -- And Be Real Unhappy And Stay In Your Room And Say Sarcastic Things. How Could Something So Normal Be Considered Morbid?

I've Done And Said A Lot Of Things When I Was Younger That I Don't Know If I Even Understood What I Was Doing Or Why I Was Doing It. There's A Lot Of Compassion In Understanding What People Go Through And Even In Trying To Understand Why A Person Would Act The Way They Do. I Was A Very Reactive Person, And I Did Things That Were Just Really Bizarre; I Don't Think People Understood It At All.

We Can Use The Romantic Relationship As A Microcosmic Example. Until You Really Understand The Other Person And Where They're Coming From And You Understand Yourself And How You Contribute To Things, You Can Never Make That Relationship Better. And I Think Sometimes People Don't Understand How Much These Things Are Related.

People Feel Like They Have To Live Up To Being Perfect Or Have A Perfect Life Or Be Perfectly Happy, And It Just Makes Them More Unhappy.
