Sophia Lillis wants you to know that, after-back to-back appearances in It and Sharp Objects, she's OK. The 17-year-old actress recently spoke with Ellen DeGeneres about her forthcoming portrayal of Nancy Drew and how the family-friendly film offered a welcome break from the demented clown and family trauma central to her aforementioned projects.

Following her breakout roles, Lillis said, "I think people were kind of worried almost, like, 'Are you OK?'" She added, "I love having these roles that are kind of in depth and really dark, except it was almost to a point where I was like, 'I have a good life — I'm happy! I laugh a lot, I smile a lot.'" Despite her refreshing role in Nancy Drew and the Hidden Staircase, Lillis will unfortunately have to face Pennywise again in an appearance in It: Chapter Two. Watch her endearing interview above.
