Lily on her parents’ influence over her in the industry: “My parents really instilled this respect for the arts in me. I’ve always wanted to be grateful and not get jaded, because it can be so easy. I want to keep being surprised by what I get to do.”

On how she has changed within a year: “I think I’ve grown up; I’m definitely kind of exploring that darker, edgier side. Never overtly sexy, though—that’s just not who I am.”

On her want to start a family: “My family has always been really spread out. I’d like to have get-togethers and things at the house—I’m looking forward to that, being a mom one day.”
