I have never had great expectations of my performance or of a film. I try not to think about the outcome. If you look that far ahead, it sort of taints your choices as an actor. I try as hard as I can to believe that no one is ever going to see it and that it's not even a movie. Then you can allow yourself to bare more. Then, once a project is done, I tend to forget about it until it comes out.

I thought, I need to be more cautious about my choices - it reflects on who I am.

Do I really look like a guy with a plan?

You see, in their last moments people show you who they really are.

I wasn't going to have fun doing a teen movie again.

Don't let anyone ever make you feel you don't deserve what you want.

You have to be willing to be manipulated in the first place because you can either recognize that in your director and then fight it because you don't trust them, but I'm not going to let them manipulate me. Or you think they're on to something and that they're manipulating something out of you which is interesting and new.
