Sydney Sweeney

When it's a bigger character, and there's a lot going on for her, and there are all these different elements that go into the character, I just love being able to dive into it.

I slalom ski. I wakeboard. I hike and rock climb.

I got rid of my place in L.A. I had this beautiful condo in Taluca Lake, but I was like, 'Why am I paying for this when I'm all over?'

I'm not one to go out. I'm more of a homebody.

Never was I allowed to miss school.

Everybody is always like, 'You must be a really good liar,' and no, I'm actually a truth teller, and I'm telling someone else's truth. If I'm lying, then I'm not doing my job correctly.

Every show is completely different.

I think that, any young child or teenager, you take a lot from your parents when you're growing up.

I love 'Gone Girl,' so bringing 'Sharp Objects' to life, that was amazing.

I would always worry that I was only going to play the girl next door or the cute girlfriend. But I've been really lucky that all my roles have been very intense and completely different kinds of characters.

I separate myself from my characters as much as possible, but I have these books that I create which are interactive diaries/timelines/memory books/pictures of the character's entire world.

I love sports, or hiking; you'll always find me outside doing something.

I love working with an actress that you can just look at them and be able to react with your eyes and not have to do much else.

I'd love to have a production company one day, and I'd love to maybe venture out with other industries.

I have to be honest: I've memorized 'Titanic.'

I don't think, because I'm going to school for something else, that I will stop being an actress.

I believe in this industry as a business, and I want to continue to grow my own business.

Everyone looks cool in the '90s.

I've been a teenage girl, too, so I've had my own insecurities and my own struggles that I've got through.

Every single character and every single person in real life can all be 16 or 17 years old and maybe live in the same town and go to the same school, but every single girl is experiencing and living a different life. I think that, on the outside, it may seem like there's a lot of similarities, but there's also a lot of differences as well.
