Whilst I've got these opportunities, and whilst I still love doing it, acting is something I can see myself continuing forever until I get bored of it.
As an actor, depending on who you are, you might be stopped on the street and might not get all the privacy you want, but I'd rather have that than no human connection whatsoever.
I like science fiction. I am quite a technologically kind of up-to-date person. I like seeing what the new developments are.
I'm very optimistic. I'm happy-go-lucky, I guess. I try to be.
When things don't go your way, you brush it aside and carry on. Don't take what you have for granted. Enjoy what you have.
I always think that trying to push yourself as an actor in a direction that you've never been before, developing characters which are more difficult to get into the head of, or are more interesting and further away from yourself, is always a challenge.
I've played a worrying number of orphans, children who have been abandoned or had something terrible happen to them.
I think I'm good at playing dramatic and serious roles, but it's not necessarily what I want to keep doing.
I don't see myself acting for the rest of my life.
I just read the scripts that come to me, and I see the ones which I really kind of understand and connect with, whether that's a science fiction or a period piece. It doesn't really matter as long as they're original and I have something to do with the character.
A kid actor to an adult actor is a tricky one.
That was the most important thing to me: making sure 'Gardner Elliot' was likeable and funny and interesting. I took my time before filming to chat with Peter, the director, to create this character.
For me, I value connection a lot, talking to people and connecting. Don't get me wrong: I enjoy having my own time, but I think it's really important to have that connection, so living on Mars would be a struggle for me.
I don't like to set myself goals because then you might fail to reach them. I just go with the flow.
I would go back to school after working on a movie, and it didn't feel I missed anything, like I had been away. I did mature pretty quickly, though, but I still sound pretty immature sometimes.
I've been in a few films that have been adapted and, as an actor, the amount of resources and things you can gain just from reading the story, as well as the script, are so massive that it's something you just can't put down.
I work and come home and just have a type of normal home life. It's what I've always wanted. I've never felt like I'm pressured into doing something and that I've got loads of responsibility.
The whole celebrity culture is super weird, but I'm part of it for some reason, and you kind of have to be as an actor to be successful.
I do have people looking up to me, which is still kind of weird to me. 'I'm like, 'Why? What have I done?'
One of the things that I really enjoyed playing with Ender was how he's constantly struggling between his brother and his sister. It's like he's got two sides to him. And I've always wanted to play a darker character, and in this film and in the novel, Ender has his moments where he isn't a glorified hero.
