My theory. Music can fix anything. Anything.
People think when you're moving in Zero-G, it's like moving in jelly. But it's not. You're completely free to move however fast as you want.
My little sister, who is four, can work my mom's iPhone better than she can.
When you have a book as material as it is, it's a lot easier to create a character because you have so many resources to draw upon when acting.
It's kind of hard to enjoy the film when you are watching yourself the whole time. But you do get on with it and try and appreciate everything else about the movie. At least that's what I do. It depends on how fresh in my memory the whole experience is.
I can clap really fast. I can beatbox. I can type the alphabet in under 2 seconds. That's probably the one I'm most proud of.
My older movies, I find easier to watch.
When you're younger, you get scripts that you are too young for and now I'm getting scripts, which I think, "I'm too old for this character." They can always shift things around to make it work and make the ages work. But I'm definitely getting more complex and interesting roles and less what you would expect. So I can experiment more and have a bit more freedom when I'm putting things on tape.
I don't really have any dream roles. It's just things, which come up.
I like to keep my options very open and try not to focus on trying to get something. That's just how I'm playing it and it's worked so far.
I don't like to look for anything in particular.
I like to keep a broad scope and read lots of different things with lots of different types of characters. Doing that is going to help develop me as an actor; you push yourself.
Doing something different, doing something original is always fun because there is a lot of creativity that comes with it.
I've pretty much always had the same haircut my entire life.
