I'm not just edgy, and I'm not just into a tomboy look, and I'm not just girly. I do what I want, and if I like something, I'll wear it.
— Sadie Sink
To see that the campaign I did for Kate Spade is on the home page, that's insane. The number of times I've logged onto this website and just dreamed about all these clothes, and now I'm in this campaign - I'm so blessed.
Since when I was little, I would always write a script and tell my sister, 'Read this line. I'm going to film it.'
I just don't want to believe in ghosts, ghouls and spirits.
I've always been laid back, go with the flow.
My mom always plays Madonna in the car, so I was kind of familiar with what she was into in the '80s.
Chicken and waffles! I'm obsessed with those.
Now it's like, I'll go to Starbucks, or I'll go to the mall or anywhere, and lots of people will recognize me, and I'm like, 'Oh, wow, this is actually a thing now; this is happening.' It can get a little bit crazy at times, but I love meeting people, and people shouldn't feel scared to come up to me and say 'Hi.'
For the Emmys, my friend Rooney Mara designed a dress for me with her brand, Hiraeth. It's so neat to see a sketch turn into a full-on look.
Comfort is number one for me with shoes. I like to do a test walk in heels to make sure I won't fall or get crazy blisters.
I think that's what's so fun about fashion: that I don't have to be defined by one particular style. It's whatever I'm feeling that day.
When I'm at home doing nothing, obviously I don't really dress up.
There was one time during my busiest month when I went into school, and they were like, 'Sadie, where's your calculator? The PSAT is today.' I was like, 'The what?' Luckily, it was the practice one, but I still had to text my dad and get him to bring me my graphing calculator.
I always felt stupid at the skate park. Everyone else is just wiping out and getting hurt, but they didn't even have helmets and knee pads - and I'm over here looking like some kind of marshmallow. I felt so ridiculous.
I'm not really about spending every second on social media. I think there's a lot more useful things you can do with your time.
For me, fashion is one of the biggest changes. I never got to wear Chanel or anything like that, growing up, or really experience fashion the way I get to now.
It's so easy to be insecure about your looks or if you're wearing the right clothes, or your hair and makeup. And I think it's just so important to stay true to who you are.
If I'm ever wearing a super-flowy dress, I like to toughen it up with a boot or something.
Not everybody has their first kiss in front of 200 extras and their mom.
My dad's a teacher and a football coach, and he found a job in New Jersey.
We were at a Giants game, and my manager told me, 'Sadie, you have an audition for a show called 'Stranger Things,'' and I had just finished binge-watching it in a few days.
I've definitely grown up, but I'm the same Sadie now that I would have been, even if I wasn't on 'Stranger Things.'
In musicals, everyone is screaming.
In 'White Christmas,' I wasn't the main part.
I have not seen 'It' because I don't like horror movies. I don't mess with clowns or demons.
My Miu Miu gown at the Golden Globes was the first time I had anything custom-made for me.
As much as I've always dreamed of going to college, I have to think about whether it is the right decision for me.
I go through so many different phases, just like every teenage girl does.
I'm open to trying multiple different types of styles.
I've always loved fashion, but I think that right now, it's hit its peak - I'm just so obsessed with clothes and paying attention to brands and collections. I guess 16 is kind of the age when you start to develop opinions on all that and knowing what suits your style.
I've always kind of had this interest in fashion.
I think there's this misconception about vegans, that it's impossible, and they're crazy or whatever. But it's not like that. You can be vegan and still be really chill.
You need to be silly sometimes.
I'm passionate about encouraging girls to be confident in their own skin.
I'd always just look at Chanel and Kate Spade and think how incredible these brands were.
I don't always enjoy them, but when a scary movie has a really good storyline, that gets me interested.
I see some kids whose social media is their whole world, and I actually think it's good to disconnect from that.
I'm usually the kind of person where if someone tells me, 'Oh my God, you have to watch this show. It's amazing,' I kind of want to go against it and not watch it. But for 'Stranger Things,' I couldn't resist. I had to watch it.
I'm a huge 'Back to the Future' fan.
I love learning new things from the other actors.
Broadway's a little different from Houston, but it's not a big difference.
I would write scripts and little plays and perform them in the living room for my family when I was little with my brother until my mom said, 'Alright, you need to go do it somewhere else other than the house.'
It's become easier to speak up for myself.
College is right for some people, and it's not for others. I shouldn't rush into it just because that's what everyone does after high school is you go to college.
Before, I would just only stick to a few certain colors that were considered good for my skin tone and good for my hair. But ever since 'Stranger Things,' the wardrobe people there, they would always stick me in these super bright colors. I discovered all these new colors that I just like wearing.
My stylist told me Chanel wanted to dress me for the 'Stranger Things' premiere. It was such a big deal for me, knowing that Chanel wanted to work with me and that I was gonna go to one of my first big red carpets wearing Chanel. That was such a huge moment for me.
I live in New Jersey, so I kind of just go to New York whenever.
I never really had a celebrity crush when I was little. I know some of my friends have posters up on their bedroom wall; I was never really about that.
I have more interesting things to post on social media, now that I'm going to Venice and stuff like that, instead of, you know, going to school and sitting on my couch.
I'm 16, and I'm still self-conscious. Everyone is at this age.
