Why aren't we talking about it in health classes in school? That's just as important as learning about physical health and nutrition. Why aren't we learning about our minds and our mental health and mental illnesses? I just think that it's something that very much needs to go hand in hand.

I wear sweatpants to set every day.
What you want, what feels good to you - it's all going to change with every partner you have.
I was always a performer kid - like, annoyingly so. I would put on shows for my family and direct my friends in little plays, and my little sister, I'd make up dances with her. But when I was 12, that was when I started taking it seriously, and my mom for some reason believed in me and helped me find an agent in Cleveland, which did nothing for me.
I had had to quit a few jobs in North Carolina because of how anxious they made me.
I use an acne cleanser because I do get breakouts, especially when I'm filming, and I use a toner to kind of help keep my oil under control with oil.
Some people say the things I do are annoying because I'm intentionally trying too hard to be relatable, but I'm really not.
Yes, we as actors are so appreciative of our fans, but there comes a point where, if we've been working all day, we don't owe 100 percent of ourselves to anyone, and that shouldn't be expected.
Going back, I wish I could have been in the moment a little bit more. I can't change it, but hindsight definitely makes me appreciative of the moment now - even if it's hard, or exhausting, it's all a part of the experience.
I developed slight body dysmorphia - when I would break out, I couldn't look at myself in the mirror for a couple of months at a time. I remember doing my makeup before school in the dark, which is an awful idea, but it's because I didn't want to see myself in that bright light.
I didn't learn about depression or anxiety at school. So when I had to go to my parents to say 'I need help, I need to go to therapy,' I felt like this weird, messed up kid. And I wasn't, but I felt that way.
There came a point when I called my mom, and I was like, 'I need to come home. I'm not OK. I'm not good right now. My mental health isn't good.'
I have money in my bank account. I have my own apartment. I have friends. I still go through and experience depression. You don't have to be ashamed of it.
I don't think any one 'ship' - like a Bughead or a Barchie or Varchie fans - should give up hope at any time because you never know.
I really would like to be on Broadway someday.
The world that we've created - of 'Riverdale,' and of this town, and of these characters - are so vastly developed. And we're diving so deep into them that fans are just really gonna die for it.
I don't drink coffee, so I have been known to have a Coca Cola on set at 6:30 A.M. in order to wake myself up.
The first time I moved to L.A., I was there for five months, and my health got so bad because of how depressed I was.
I think I was 10 when I did my first community play, and then I started booking bigger roles in these plays, and people were telling me and my parents that I was talented. And I was like, 'Well, this is something I wanna do.'
I'm always going to try to be as happy and grateful to fans, but I'm also just trying to live my life.
I really look up to Ashley Graham and how she promotes her body and flaunts it. She's beautiful and stunning, and I'm not going to say I love her body on Instagram and talk about it poorly in my personal life.
I think people who are destined to be friends, that are best friends, that genuinely, truly are invested in each other as human beings - a fight won't separate you forever. I've definitely had fights with my best friend, but it has never made us sever ties.
Actors devote a lot of our time and energy to the work that we do, but there shouldn't come a sense of entitlement from fans that we owe them every second of our lives.
I never had a huge circle of friends, so I really just tried to cherish and not take for granted the close friends I did have, who were really supportive and understanding.
I order pizza a lot to set.
I am on medication - I've talked about that before - just to help my anxiety, so I'm not depressed all the time.
I'm not going to sit here and go to college for something that I don't care about.
You don't need to ever justify the way you feel.
I remember being in middle and high school and hearing Demi Lovato speak up about her mental illness, and that was comforting.
I usually tape about 99 percent of my auditions at my house. I have a camera and record myself, and my mom reads the other lines off-camera. Then I send it to my agent and manager, and they send it to the casting director, and we see how it goes from there.
I can't say I've watched 'Twin Peaks.' I feel like I wouldn't be comfortable doing so until after I'm done with 'Riverdale.'
It takes a good 35-40 minutes to do my iconic ponytail every day.
I think it's refreshing that it's not called 'The Archie Show.' It's called 'Riverdale,' not 'Archie,' which is good.
I was making myself a hotdog and pulling some curly fries out of the oven, and I got the call from manager, and she said, 'You got it. You're Betty Cooper.' It felt so unreal.
My mom would drive me from Cleveland to New York City and use my dad's hotel points for auditions. They were the most supportive parents that I could have. Without them, I wouldn't have gotten anywhere.
It's never really been my intention; I've never gone out of my way to be relatable to anyone. I just say what I want, and I'm pretty blunt about things.
I definitely have had fights with best friends. Some of them have led to me and said friend not being friends anymore, but it always turned out to be for the better. I think if you fight with someone, and you can just never reconcile, that just goes to show that maybe you shouldn't have been friends in the first place.
Our Betty Cooper is still the girl next door - she literally lives next to Archie. And she's the blonde all-American girl; she's so sweet and forgiving, gives people the benefit of the doubt and second chances, wears her heart on her sleeve. But she's also incredibly broken on the inside, for many different reasons.
I have cystic acne, and sometimes when I have a breakout, it triggers me back to that time when I was a teen and I feel so self-conscious - like the whole world is looking at my bad skin. I've definitely not gone out of the house because of a breakout, which is horrible.
I'm a picky eater, so, often, if I can't find something to eat at catering, I order pizza.
I've seen a therapist at different points in my life for different reasons.
I have anxiety.
Going to Comic-Con was mind-blowing, seeing all these fans and all these people who know my name.
I just hope to keep doing film and TV and eventually Broadway. It's definitely what I want to do for the rest of my life.
No one's forcing me or any other celebrity to take time out of their day to say 'Hi' to these fans or do these things. It's just something we do nine times out of 10 because we love and appreciate our fans.
