When I'm back at home it's just reality. I kind of separate myself from Hollywood.

The filmmakers that I studied and appreciated growing up are the ones that are able to dictate their vision clearly to each department, and they know the language of how to communicate with each department well enough, so that their vision is clearly transferred to the screen. So I like to spend time on sets learning from all of the departments and seeing how they approach their jobs. It's not just filmmakers, you know? There's so many mediums involved. I love learning about all of the mediums.

Film is a collection of many mediums and collaboration and you're only as strong as the people you're working with - and everybody owns their mediums.

I appreciate film actors who respect the film making process.

It's like, to me, acting is like a child walking in the park, the better the actor, the greater the playground he has.

I'm not someone who works a lot, and what I mean by that is that I have a project and I focus on it, and I don't spread myself too thin. I try to give as much as I can to that project, and if we have a lot of time, that's amazing for me, because I like to really dive deep and do as much as I can.

I'm doing 'The Perks of Being a Wallflower'. It was a book I read when I was younger, and it just changed my life, and I just wanted to be a part of it.
