I don't find acting and directing schizophrenic, in any way. I find it completely easy to move between the two.

Caitriona Balfe, who is Irish, is also in my movie. I asked her to play her Irish accent in the movie, but her own brogue is so faint that I had to keep pumping it up.

There is nothing more beautiful than finding your course as you believe you bob aimlessly in the current. And wouldn't you know that your path was there all along, waiting for you to knock, waiting for you to become. This path does not belong to your parents, your teachers, your leaders, or your lovers. Your path is your character defining itself more and more every day.

As an actor, I'm always playing solitary characters. But as a director, I'm always making ensemble movies, which focus on lots of people's lives and how they intertwine.

I spent a lot of time not in school, so I didn't have deep relationships with kids my own age.

Adolescence is a tough one to be a child actor.

I'd always need a creative outlet. But sometimes, I do fantasize what my life would be like if I weren't famous.
