I've definitely been in ruts, and I think having some kind of perseverance is important.
When I'm not acting, I like to go home and be really normal. So I usually grow out my hair until I get the next part.
There are maybe 100 actors I look up to, but my first two favourite actors were Dustin Hoffman and Jack Nicholson.
Let's say honorary favorite New Yorker is John Lennon, and favorite real New Yorker is Biggie, because he's the best.
I think control is a two-way street; sometimes people want to control things to keep them safe if they are afraid of life.
I've been fortunate to work with several actors and directors who I look up to, and learned from each of them.
As people, no matter what we are doing, your whole body is living and breathing.
I mean, to feel in good hands as an actor... it's the best feeling.
I went to private school in Manhattan, and at a young age, they made us do public speaking. For some reason, I was good at standing in front of the class and speaking.
I feel like I have to be responsible for what I'm participating in or putting out into the world.
I do like the idea of consequence and how our actions play themselves out, but I am completely scared of knowing what the future would be like. I would never go near a fortune teller, even though it's probably not even real. I just don't wanna know.
I like movies a lot, and I feel really excited when I see a movie that moves me the right way.
I think the idea is to try and understand everything about the characters and where the character is coming from, from their point of view, why they say what they do. And not, 'Oh, but I would never say that. Why does the character say that?' But then making it as personal as possible.
The idea of writer's block or not having inspiration is totally terrifying to me.
I don't like tight pants on guys.
I don't really know what kind of actor I am.
To be called a genius at 17 or 18 years old can sometimes cause arrested development.
I think 'American Pie' is great.
I volunteered at a homeless shelter in preparation for 'Being Flynn,' and when I'm walking along the Bowery, that's the first thing that comes to mind. That's a nice memory.
Have I seen any plays that I've been in? Uh, you know, might be a little weird.
