Were you expecting to be nominated?No, not at all.
In fact, I actually had a dream last night that I did not get nominated at all.
I didnt have any other words and I wanted to acknowledge it somehow, and that just felt right.
How have you felt about people reacting so strongly toEighth Grade?Im just so thankful for it.
The response from people has just been so heartwarming.
Im so glad we made something that really made a difference in peoples lives.
I mean, my life is changed probably more than anyone elses.
I was pretty much considering quitting acting before the movie.
So, I mean, this is a big step in the other direction than that.
So its really incredible to see other teenagers come up and talk to me.
I was also just such a big fan ofBohemian Rhapsody, so I would love to meet Rami Malek.
I think he was really great, and I love that movie very much.
What was that like?It was the best.
I mean, hes such a nice man.
One of the best parts ofEighth Gradeis the time capsule.
I actually have Kaylas yellow tie-dye shirt.
I got a lot of very nice letters from people that Id put in there.
So I would probably throw my fake Oscar in there.
