Quotes from Noah Schnapp

You really disconnect yourself from the world being in the middle of nowhere.

I was so excited to play Will. He goes into the Upside Down, and he has some pretty crazy experiences.

I've never been stuck in the Upside Down, and no one else I know has, so it was kind of something new to just create.

There's nothing set in stone - some people perceive it as Will could be gay, asexual or whatever. Or, like how I see it, he was stuck in the Upside Down, and he was away for so long that all of his friends started growing up while he was in this other world.

Not everyone stops me on the streets, but when you're at airports or public places like that. It's kind of weird for me. I don't know how they recognize me. It just happens when people see me.

But, I feel like I grew up in the '80s now from 'Stranger Things.'

A lot of 'Stranger Things' is having to be able to, in your mind, turn a little tennis ball into a huge monster. In Season 2, there was one scene where I was screaming at the monster and I was screaming at nothing. It was just the sky. So I really have a big imagination, I guess?

Some people come up to me in public and they're like, 'Oh my God, are you Noah from TikTok?' It's so weird to get recognized for that. I think it's the really young fans who have never even heard of 'Stranger Things.'

Just filming Season 1 was different because I had to fly back and forth, in and out. I remember the show was just so relaxed because no one knew what the show was; we used the words 'Stranger Things' on all the sides, and all the cast names. Then in Season 2, you used code names for everything, and they just had to up the security.

Well I actually came to shoot 'Stranger Things' straight from filming a movie called 'Bridge of Spies,' which is directed by Stephen Spielberg, so I was recommended to watch a bunch of his movies, like 'E.T' and stuff.

I have made a few 'Stranger Things' related TikToks because my fans love that and I definitely plan on making some while on set of 'Stranger Things' when production starts up again.

I mean, I'm pretty sad that I have to leave all of my home friends and I can't see them for basically half a year. That's not a great thing, but we'll FaceTime and stuff. What I'm excited for is to be on the set with all the 'Stranger Things' cast.

For me, Will being gay or not is besides the point. 'Stranger Things' is a show about a bunch of kids who are outsiders and find each other because they have been bullied in some way or are different.

I think Facebook is more for old people and, like, adults. My parents use Facebook. I honestly have never been on Facebook.

I love using TikTok for comic relief.

I found this book that had every 'Peanuts' strip from 1952 to 1955 and read every one. Amazing. So now I can say I have become a big 'Peanuts' fan.

It's definitely pretty overwhelming sometimes. But I'm really lucky and grateful to have all these fans. I know I'm lucky.

I feel like with 'Hubie,' it was just a matter of the difference between working on a movie versus a TV show. TV shows, it's like a long period of time and you're living there, and with this movie, it was kind of in and out.

It's very corny, 'never give up' - but it's just a great quote that I always follow.

When I had to have a little seizure, I looked up videos of people having seizures. I remember looking up symptoms and what happens to your body. You kind of just lock up and I had to prepare for that. A lot.

I always wonder if Apple iPhones and all these electronics that we use today are still going to be a thing in like 10, 20 years.

I always wish I could just see the 'Stranger Things' from an audience standpoint and not from mine. 'Cause when I watch it, I remember someone was behind there and behind there. I just can't watch it like a viewer. But I love seeing something on paper come to TV.

My lips are always chapped and it's a problem.

It's really exciting to get to be the main character of something.
