“I’m cool with people dressing up as Eleven for Halloween. I definitely want to open my door and give them candy.”

I have a dog. It’s an English mastiff called Dolly. Her middle name is Poppy.

I love Carrie Fisher, and it would be amazing to carry on her legacy.

If I’d been in a school play, I’d probably have sneezed and messed everything up.

I’d probably say I’m very strong. If somebody says something horrible, I’m like, ‘Okay, whatever.’

I started singing before I started talking. And that’s the God’s honest truth. I think it was something that I’ve always loved to do, even if I wasn’t good at it. I just loved ballads.

I was bored one day, so my dad took me to this acting school. I liked it more than having fun – I liked it for an actual job.

I started singing before I started tweeting, actually. It was always a passion… I started singing, and then I got into acting. Singing is something I love to do. I feel very confident doing it.

I have three other siblings, so it’s all very equal – even when I get a little cocky, which I usually do. My brother keeps me in a headlock. He says that I’m not a celebrity in this house. I think I’m really chilled out and grounded.

I love playing Eleven.

Working, for me, is like a gift.

My parents are so amazing, and they’ve travelled around the world with me.

It’s nice to have famous people love you.

I’m quite sarcastic, and I’m funny, but not kind of funny. It’s a weird funny, and some people don’t get me, and some people do.

My family is really proper.

I’m obsessed with working out. I eat like a pig, so it kind of makes up for that.

I could live without my phone. And one thing I’d love to do is experience having the freedom that kids had back in the ’80s.

Never assume you know where someone else is coming from.

I had Halloween parties every year, as it was my birthday five days before. My parents would actually put prosthetic noses on, and my dad would wear a top-hat and tails, put on a fake curly moustache, and hold a pipe.

The artist must bow to the monster of his own imagination.

There is nothing funny about Halloween.

On Halloween, the parents sent their kids out looking like me.

This is a comment on fear. Today it’s like ‘They’re going to bomb the New York subway and there’s the avian flu and 50 million of us are going to die.’

We wanted to make fun of that fear-based culture we’ve been plunged into. And Halloweens the perfect metaphor for fear.

You are never too old to become younger!
