  • BUT I SAW ALL OF MY FRIENDS GOING TO PROM FROM AFAR.

  • IT, BECAUSE I TOLD MYSELF THAT I WAS GOING TO HAVE PLENTY OF

  • OPPORTUNITIES TO WEAR BEAUTIFUL DRESSES ON RED CARPETS.

  • AND, LUCKILY, THAT HAPPENED.

  • >> Stephen: IS IT TRUE THAT YOU AUDITIONS FOR "RIVERDALE" BY

  • SENDING IN A VIDEOTAPE FROM HOME?

  • >> YEAH, YEAH.

  • THEY DIDN'T WANT ME.

  • SO I WAS LIKE, OKAY, MOVED ON WITH MY LIFE.

  • >> Stephen: YOU CAN TELL US ANYTHING-- CAN YOU TELL US

  • ANYTHING ABOUT THE JUMP AHEAD?

  • >> UHM...

  • UH...

  • I'M NOT A TEENAGER ANYMORE.

  • >> Stephen: WE JUST HAD THE DIRECTOR OF THE F.B.I.-- FORMER

  • >> Stephen: IN SEPTEMBER, YOU PUBLISHED YOUR FIRST BOOK.

  • IT'S A BOOK OF POETRY.

  • PUT IT RIGHT OVER HERE SO WE CAN SEE.

  • IT'S CALLED "SWIMMING LESSONS."

  • SO POETRY, YOU'RE GOING FOR THE BIG MONEY BY BUYING A POET.

  • IT'S JUST A CASH GRAB, OBVIOUSLY.

  • REQUEST YET SWIMMING LESSONS?" WHY IS IT CALLED THAT?

  • >> THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION.

  • I THOUGHT OF THAT TITLE AS I WAS FALLING ASLEEP ONE NIGHT.

  • I WAS KIND OF GRASPING AT STRAWS.

  • MY EDITOR WAS TELLING ME I HAD, LIKE, ONE DAY LEFT TO TURN IN MY

  • TITLE.

  • AND I WAS LIKE-- AH!

  • REALLY, JUST "SWIMMING LESSONS" CAME ACROSS MY MIND.

  • "DOES THIS WORK?

  • YEAH, IT WORKS.

  • IT'S SWIMMING LESSONS.

  • IT'S KIND OF NOSTALGIC.

  • IT'S SOMETHING YOU DO WHEN YOU'RE YOUNG AND YOU'RE LEARNING

  • AND YOU'RE TRYING TO STAY AFLOAT, LIVE LIFE --

  • >> Stephen: LITERALLY ALIVE SO YOU DON'T DROWN.

  • >> RIGHT, RIGHT, EXACTLY.

  • SO I JUST THOUGHT-- I THOUGHT IT WAS A SWEET TITLE THAT KIND OF

  • MADE SENSE IN TERMS OF LEARNING AND TRYING THINGS FOR THE FIRST

  • TIME.

  • THE BOOK IS KIND OF ABOUT EXPLORING YOUR FIRST EXPERIENCES

  • OF LOVE AND HEARTACHE.

  • SO...

  • >> Stephen: DO YOU EVER FEEL LIKE MAYBE YOU NEED MORE

  • SWIMMING LESSONS SO YOU DON'T DROWN IN LIFE?

  • >> I'M ACTUALLY...

  • I'M PRETTY GOOD AT SWIMMING, LIKE, IN REAL LIFE.

  • BUT IN...

  • LIKE, SWIMMING IN A POOL, BUT WHEN IT COMES TO ACTUALLY

  • SWIMMING THROUGH LIFE, I'M WORKING ON IT.

  • I'M DOING THE BEST I CAN.

  • I COULD PROBABLY TAKE A COUPLE OF MORE LESSONS.

  • BUT THAT'S WHAT THERAPY IS, RIGHT?

  • >> Stephen: WE HAVE TO TAKE A QUICK BREAK BUT WE'LL BE RIGHT

  • BACK WITH MORE LILI REINHART.
