There's no one who, at some point, hasn't had the feeling their life is on the rails and they can't do anything about it.

'Hairspray' has never been irrelevant, which is, in some ways, heartbreaking.

As an actor, you are either emulating someone else, or some version of yourself.

I had the poster of 'Hairspray' right above my bed. And I had the biggest crush on Zac Efron, of course.

My version of a good role model is everything that I have strived to become over the years, as I have a deep desire to live an honest life and give relentlessly and openly to people who look up to me.

If you think about the people trying to hurt you, rather than just trying to hurt them back, you can understand it has nothing to do with you.
