I don't know where my romanticism comes from. My mom and dad would read to me a lot. 'Treasure Island,' 'Robinson Crusoe,' tales of chivalry and knights, things like that. Those are the stories I loved growing up.
I'm not a religious person. My mom was of Jewish blood and my dad was Protestant.
My dad believes in God, I think. I'm not sure if my mom does. I don't.
My mom and dad were actors when they were younger and had a horrible experience of it. My dad became a literary agent and my mom a casting director.
I just have this fear that I'll get on stage and there'll be that brief moment of adrenalin and I'll forget my line.
I'm getting better now, but I used to be incredibly awkward with girls, ... I think any guy who says 'I've never had an awkward moment with a girl' is a liar.
Thing is, it's very easy to be righteous from a distance. It's his life. It's not my business to say what is wrong or right.
To be honest, I don't actually know how much at this point, ... I don't, really. In a way, I think that's right. It's not something that affects the way I think about things.
We are older now, ... so it is good for us to feel like we're not just child actors any more. We've grown up and are now able to make our own acting decisions.
I think I'm highly normal. I'm attending school after acting, I'm going out with friends, going to the cinema - I'm just doing everything a normal teenager does. People think I can't leave the house without being in a crowd of fans - but that's not true. I'm able to do more things than people might think.
I thought it was really weird seeing my face up on the screen.
We could get away with more because we were a bit younger.
I don't think I'd have the stamina, skill or ability to write a novel, but I'd love to write short stories and poetry, because those are my two passions.
If this doesn't get you exhilarated, then nothing in life will excite you,
