Sophia Lillis

"The blood. Oh my God, the blood. That was insane and messy and sticky, and it hurts when it gets into your eyes. But it was also one of my favorite scenes. I know thats really weird to say. Its one of those scenes that people would gasp when I talked to them about it. I get to remember it for the rest of my life."

"I know this is going to sound weird but Im kinda shy as a person. I dont really know what to say in a conversation. But then I realised that when I act I get to experience things that no one else has experienced."

"I learned about her and how strong she is and how desperate she is. It was kind of like someone I wanted to be: how brave she is, and how she went head-on to defeat this clown that could have killed her at any second."

"It made me realise I could act as a profession. I knew people were actors, but it felt like some outlandish thing to me at the time – it didnt seem like I could actually be one of them. But after It I realised, Oh, I can do this."
