I record into my phone as soon as I hear a track. Melody comes first for me, and then my gibberish usually forms into lyrics and a concept from there. Keiynan Lonsdale Read Quote
The Flash’ comics are visually amazing and so well done. I wish I had been introduced to them when I was growing up. Keiynan Lonsdale Read Quote
I just pack up my pantry with lots of Oreos and other chocolate treats to disguise the fact that I don’t have Tim Tams. Keiynan Lonsdale Read Quote
I actually don’t label myself, but… Some people call me queer; some people call me bisexual, whatever it is now. I’m happy with all of it ’cause it all sort of represents me, in a way. I spent a majority of my life in the closet. Keiynan Lonsdale Read Quote
At some point, I came out to a lot of friends and some family, but then I went back in the closet when I started working as an actor in America. Keiynan Lonsdale Read Quote
I’d only been out for, like, six months before I booked ‘Insurgent’. It was my first role in America, and it was a huge movie franchise. All I’d ever hear at the time was how Hollywood treated gay men or queer men, so I was, like, ‘Well, I’m not going to shoot myself in the foot before I’ve even started life here,’ you know?

I think, in general, straight actors should be able to play queer roles just as much as queer actors should be able to play straight roles. I think the reason why the debate is there is because we haven’t had enough queer actors being cast in anything. People are in need of that representation in general. Keiynan Lonsdale Read Quote
It’s important that I work with people where they know why they’re hiring me and that they’re looking to create art without fear. Anyone who uses those excuses to not cast people or to create extremely stereotypical characters, they’re creating out of fear, and to me that’s really boring. Keiynan Lonsdale Read Quote
