"There’s something impenetrable about that cool girl and wanting to know her more intimately, but I also think there’s something about that girl where she doesn’t really know herself yet; it’s like a layer of consciousness she hasn’t quite entered, and that’s what allows her questionable behavior, in a sense, because she’s not thinking of other people in the way we’d like her to. We wish she was more self-aware — and I hope I was more self-aware at that age, but I’m not sure, in reality, I was."
