8. Paul Thomas Anderson has said in many interviews that he wrote the film with you in mind for the lead role — but what was your initial reaction when you found out you were cast as Alana Kane in Licorice Pizza?
When I have adrenaline, I’ll pretty much say yes to anything. Like, you could ask me to go skydiving and I’ll say, “Yes!” But when I’m about to jump out of the actual plane, I begin to second guess every decision and question if this is something I should be doing [laughs]. So, when he asked me, I was like, “Yes, of course!” But that night when I was going to bed, I was questioning if this was something I could actually do. But Paul was my number-one supporter all the way through the whole thing. He never doubted me and never made me feel like I couldn’t do it.
9. What was a typical day like on the set of Licorice Pizza?
I would wake up at 5 a.m. and put on my ’70s music playlist and do my hair and makeup. I actually did my own hair and makeup every day for the movie — I would blow it out and do MINIMAL makeup. I would be lying if I said that there weren’t days when I wished I had spent an additional 10 minutes on my makeup. But we were filming in the Valley in the summertime, so it was like 100 degrees every day. We actually shot on the hottest day of the year — the hottest recorded ever. But yeah, I would drive to set and walk to my trailer. Cooper [Hoffman]’s trailer was next to mine, so we would blast music back and forth. Then, when we were dressed, we would go over our scenes for the day and start shooting. The second we opened the door of our trailers, we were in the ’70s, and Cooper and I would be like, “Alright, let’s go!”
10. What was your initial impression of Bradley Cooper?
So, we weren’t allowed to meet him until he got on set. It ended up working out because Cooper and I were so nervous to meet him (Bradley Cooper) as his character, Jon Peters, but that’s how it ended up panning out. We heard, “Action!” and then Bradley Cooper came out and we were in awe. Both me and Coop were like, “OMG, that’s Bradley Cooper!” He was in character for his five days on set, but when he was done, he came up to us and was like, “Oh, my god, I’m so sorry I was like that!” But it helped, because we had to be terrified of him!
11. Who was the last celebrity you DM’d with on Instagram?
Oh, I have no idea… No one really DMs me… Is that a bad thing? [laughs] Maybe I need to start sliding into people’s DMs…I will say — oh, god, this is so embarrassing, and my sisters are going to kill me for saying this because then he may unfollow us — Drake followed Haim a long time ago, and we all collectively freaked out. I think we just follow each other, but now that he knows he’s probably gonna be like, “Wait, why do I follow this band? [laughs]”
12. Did you pick up any new hobbies over quarantine?
I learned how to needlepoint! I got really into it — but I’m also a Sagittarius, so I get really obsessed with things for like five minutes and then move on. OH, I also got into these diamond paintings? It’s like paint by numbers but with little crystals. So long, but worth it.
13. What is the most used emoji on your phone?
🤦️
14. What is your current iPhone wallpaper?
Oh, I have to show you. It’s my parents on their wedding day! They’re so cute.
