Fortunately, both my parents, especially my mom, have guided me, and been amazing at handling my career and my finances. They taught me not to buy what I don't need, when I'm not working that much.

When I'm acting, I just want to be the character and not have to think of any film technicalities.

Directing for me is the ability to take the words from a page and share my vision with the world.

That's the beauty of life, the uncertainty that we experience, literally, as we go about our day-to-day activities. We're not certain of anything, so fear comes up very often. Fear comes naturally.

Somedays I think I'm a rebel in my own mind but most of the times I'm a low-key, follow the rules type of guy.

What's important is how you deal with fear. I face it head-on, but I'm not too proud to admit that I do get afraid sometimes.

The number one reason for the death of young actors' careers is people get so used to seeing them playing that one character that they can't accept them as anyone else.
