This guy [Edward Snowden] was a patriot. He believed very strongly in his beliefs and what he was doing for his country. So it was easy to tap into that and go, "OK, this is what this guy believes in."

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.

There are 16 year olds competing at the olympics and i still push on pull doors & struggle getting through the whole day without a nap.

I'm a fan of horror movies that have really good stories.

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.

You understand what good directing is, you can identify it pretty easily.

I had fun to be a little bit of a nerd.
