Oh, I've been ridiculously lucky to work for, I'd say, five of the greatest directors of all time... and a lot of other great people, too.
-
My parents were big film buffs.
-
I haven't worked enough to worry about getting typecast, but I do as a film lover didn't want to be working with the bad guys. I didn't want to be making a movie I thought was contributing to a lower base of movies that I just didn't think were helping people, really.
-
I don't find it very helpful to know who else is going up for stuff, generally.
-
No one remembers it; none of my friends remember me having it, but I had really bad acne for, like, years.
-
I would say that it's mainly about the director. It's a hard quality to find, but I always know whether I want to do something or not. The character is important to me, as is getting to work with people that I feel like I can learn from and make a great movie with.
-
I'm an actor because I love movies, and always have loved movies. I'm a film buff.
-
I think everyone in high school at one point feels like they're on the outside observing what's going on. Even if you're very popular, you have an outsider experience.
-
This movie 'On the Road' with Kristen Stewart - they were trying to make that movie for 30 years. She says she wants to do it, and they can finally make it. You have so much at your disposal if you're in a successful commercial film.
-
When I was a little kid, my parents would show me Marx Brothers' films and westerns and stuff like that. That's where all my desire to be an actor comes from and probably most of my understanding of acting comes from for sure.
-
There's a lot of directors I'd still love to work with - one of them is Spielberg, because he kind of started my career, and I've not worked with him yet.
-
If I tried to somehow wrap my head around the fact that Francis Ford Coppola directed my first movie, there's never a slot into which that ever fits in your mind.
-
My mom wouldn't let me do child acting.
-
My favorite one... it's hard to pick a favorite. But the one I really love a lot is 'A Serious Man.' I just love, love 'A Serious Man.'
-
I did my first film with Francis Ford Copploa, which spoiled the hell out of me.
-
What drew me to 'Beautiful Creatures' was the character that I get to play, Ethan. Within three pages, I knew he is so specific and interesting.
-
I don't have social media, and I'm not, I guess, that adept at being on the Internet.
-
I had a meeting with the producer of 'Five Easy Pieces,' which is my favorite movie. He introduced me to Francis, and I spent six months going to Napa and Buenos Aires, auditioning for Francis and doing these incredible improvisational games. It was a very bohemian audition process.
-
If I had to do a lot of promotion as a kid, it would have been very intense. I'm really glad I got to go through high school, have a college experience, and have the last five years since then, just... being a person.
-
Whenever you hear somebody else is auditioning for something, you sort of assume they're going to get it. You should try to just ignore it.
-
I just can't imagine having to do an accent all the time - like, in your whole career.
-
I think it would be frustrating having to do things you wouldn't want to do, having to make movies you didn't like.
-
When I was 12, I decided I was only going to watch Westerns for a few months.
-
It's appealing to me to get to be in a commercial film without feeling like I sold out.
