In the film, based on Gayle Forman’s popular young-adult novel of the same name by, Moretz plays a college-bound musician whose ghostly spirit must decide whether to fight for her life after a car accident kills her family and puts her body in a coma. Here, the actress talks with TIME about the role, learning to play the cello and why she’s “the worst” at pop culture. **TIME: Your character, Mia, is a cellist who falls in love with a punk rocker. Are you a classical person or a punk person?** **Chloë Grace Moretz:** I’m kind of both. I don’t really have a biased opinion on exactly what I like. It’s really whatever is my mood in the moment, whatever I’m feeling in that second. **At shows, do you hang in the back and avoid the mosh pit like Mia?** Oh, no, I’m not shy at all when it comes to concerts. I totally make a fool of myself. **So this movie is quite the tear-jerker.** Definitely. I cried the first time I read the book. **Is it cooler to make people sob in movies now?** For sure. I think it just happens more than it used to. **Looking over your filmography, you sure do a lot of movies about death.** They have pretty heavy subjects. Acting for me is not just being happy-go-lucky. That’s my real life. Acting for me is doing the opposite of who I am. **You learned to play the cello for this movie. Did practicing drive your parents crazy like in the movie?** Yeah, my mom was like, “I have to deal with you fake-playing an instrument for this long? It’s kind of painful.” **But you look good!** I got better at it than I figured I would, but it wasn’t me most of the time. **You had a hand double?** I had a _body_ double. **Wait, they can digitally do that in movies??** Yeah, they just put my head onto it. It’s super crazy. **You’re a high-school senior. Has playing a teenager stressed out about college made you more or less interested in applying?** I think I’m going to take two years off to see what it’s like and then go to school for film editing and cinematography. **Allow me to nag: What will you write for your application essay?** I’d probably say I’ve had my job since I was 5 years old, and I’ve been able to hone it and create a career. **Hard to argue with that.** I think colleges look for people like that, who have had a passion for a long time or have been able to make themselves incredibly diligent and grounded when most people can’t do that at a young age. **This movie has a great soundtrack. Did you get to contribute your picks?** You know the cello moment when the girl does a cover of \[Beyoncé’s\] “Halo”? **Yeah.** I found that artist online and send it to \[director\] R.J. Cutler and she made it into the movie purely because I found her online and fell in love with her music. **What else is on your radar**? Honestly I am the worst at pop culture. I think I’m really abreast of pop culture and then it turns out I’m not. I meet 13-year-olds and they’re talking in a lingo I totally don’t understand. **So you can’t tell me what’s hip with the kids these days?** Exactly. I have literally no idea.
