That's such a relevant thing, as an actor - committing and not being distracted by any kind of technical awareness, or whatever. You do have to block things out sometimes, and sometimes it's easier than others.

In high school, girls started wearing high-waisted pants with their shirts tucked into them. I don't get what that's about.

I was in school, but I wasn't into school. I wasn't doing what I wanted to be doing in school, which was film studies. That was what I intended on doing, but I didn't go away to a university because I wanted to stay in L.A. and audition while I took classes, so I elected to go to a community college and just take G.E. courses. It was terrible.

Everyone was so good at what they were doing, and what they were bringing onto the table, that I was confident. I guess I was just trying to keep up, really, that was my hope at the end of the day; that I could do them justice and do the story [Maze Runner] justice and do Wes [Ball] justice.

You don't disrupt genius at work.

I never trained in any acting, other than just joking around and doing my own dinky little videos.

I didn't have that many friends my first few years of high school. It was very cliquey and I'm super shy, so it was hard to make friends.
