On her father’s reaction to Spring Breakers: “[My dad] was very excited when he saw the name Harmony Korine on my audition list. He knows that this is my passion and my career. He definitely is not one for standing in the way. Of course he has his concerns and wants to be a protective father, but my parents are so amazing, they have always given me the freedom to fly.”

On her Spring Breakers experience: “I’ve never been on spring break, I’ve never gone to college or had this group of girlfriends to go away with. I became very, very close with these girls. We had such an amazing experience together; it felt like it was our own little spring break. We allowed ourselves to let loose and push each other and see how far we could take it.”

About prepping for Gimme Shelter in a real homeless shelter: “They were completely cool with me, they were very welcoming and they really opened up to me which was really, really sweet. They let me pick their minds and get inside of their heads. It was definitely devastating, but it’s the reality of what happens to them.”

On Gimme Shelter: “I had to chop off all my hair and live in a pregnant woman’s shelter for about two weeks before we even started filming to get me in my headspace. It was a bit of a shock. It’s a world that I’ve never had a chance of looking into, let alone be a part of, and I remember calling my mom on the first night, and I was like ‘Mom, what have I gotten myself into.’ It was a lot of fun after I got past those initial feelings of shock at the environment.”

On looking up to Meryl Streep: “She has such an amazing, long career, and that’s the goal – a long career! She has done everything there is to do under the roof, and been brilliant at everything she does. She’s the master of her craft – and that’s her priority – her craft. She is just astonishing.”
