I want to keep working. I want to step away from young adult fiction. I want to do theater periodically - Farragut North reminded me how great it is. I started out in theater. I trained in theater and then I kind of fell into film and TV. I want to work with interesting artists, talented actors, talented directors, and talented scripts. Not necessarily leading roles.

I don't look on the Internet; it's a world of pain.

Well, I couldn't spell my name until I was eight - my second name. I was so dyslexic. Max I could do. Irons, nope.

I think I was about 16 when I first figured I wanted to be an actor. I wanted to be a fighter pilot before that, but then I thought I don't want to kill people so that ruled that out.

I think it's quite good to have an amount of unavailability.

You know, Taylor Lautner, with a body like that, he should be taking his shirt off. For me, it's not so essential.

Once you become the story off-screen, you are less likely to be the onscreen one.
