Ever since I've been a kid, I've always been about running around, climbing trees, exploring.
It's rare that I read a script, and I immediately go, 'This is perfect. I can see myself in this.'
That boy-next-door, love interest crush has been my niche since 'Austin & Ally.'
'[email protected]' is really, really dope. I'm really proud of it, and I really love the role of Hawk. It's arguably one of my favorite roles I've played.
I love 'What Happens in Vegas,' 'You've Got Mail.'
I love Bon Iver. I would never put a negative connotation on that man's name!
Directing was rarely a thought in my head growing up. Especially not when I first began acting or working on my first professional sets.
I've always wanted to hit that, like, '13 Going on 30;' 'Failure to Launch,' Matthew McConaughey; 'What Happens in Vegas,' Cameron Diaz, Ashton Kutcher' wave.
If I ever feel like I'm messing up, making the worst decisions, or I'm just lesser than - if I'm being self-deprecating - I just think, 'Cheer up, dude, you're a lot worse than you think.' It makes me laugh. It takes me out of it.
I got attacked when I was six years old by a Mastiff.
I think there's been this whole image of masculinity that's been out in society - of brooding, brutish, egotistical, narcissistic men - like, this patriarchy.
I don't smoke. I don't drink.
I wake up sometimes and roll over and sleep until 4 o'clock in the afternoon.
It's hard to find a writer that really understands the intricacies of flirting and the development of love, the development of getting to know someone, the development of chemistry in real life.
We are from a swipe-right generation, and that just comes to, 'Oh you're cute, let's hook up,' and that's that. Where is actual, genuine connection that comes from spending quality time with someone?
I went to New York for work. I was at baggage claim, and I had my headphones on, and I was waiting for my bag to come out. I feel a presence approach me, and without even knowing, I had to side step and take my headphones off, and there's, like, four people looking at me.
I understand the mentality of a jock.
The only thing that will box me in is myself, and I think we can break all that when the time is right, for the right role.
We're so used to getting everything we want now, my generation.
I would say that all of my experience on any set over the course of my life has helped me in directing 'Save Me Tonight.'
