I like a lot of Tom Cruise's roles, he's this action hero.

I'm just looking to be in the best movies possible and do the best work possible and try to become a better actor and make better movies.

What I've discovered from working with my father is that I'm still learning. I'm just a kid in this business. And I've seen from my father transitioning into being a director, that's where the power lies. And, like he says, it's feast or famine for an actor. If you're not creating your own material, then you're just fighting for whatever's out there. I definitely have the desire to go to the other side.

Everybody's human. You are only on this planet for a little bit of time.

People assumed that I would have everything handed to me, but that couldn't be further from the truth. I was on my own just doing the grind.

There's the acting side of it so you work with a coach. Dissect a script. If it's a character, then obviously a character study. Just depends on if there is training needed.

He [Oliver Stone] is great. I really like working with directors who know what they want and aren't afraid to tell you, "Do it like this. Don't do it like that."
