The sexy moments for me, I wasn't thinking of them as sexy. I was thinking of them as more specific to my character. So it was necessary for my character's development in the movie, so that's how I played it.

My mother was there every day of the production. You know what? My mother and I are so close, she really understands the fact that I am 18 and I am maturing. I guess I am not your average 18 year-old

I've always felt that kids are really smart.

I have never understood that. I come from a place where the press makes or breaks an actor and it is more of a teamwork relationship.

I plays Joe's best friend. I am the only one he has ever been able to trust in his life, so I help him understand what happened to him when he was younger.

If you're not falling, you're not training hard enough.

Four months filming in a foreign country. You know, it is great because you get to learn all about different cultures. I feel so much more enriched.
