“Any experience I had, I’d try to reenact it.”

It’s been very helpful for my career, but I’m trying to stay on the path I was on before.

My dad told me, ‘It takes fifteen years to be an overnight success’, and it took me seventeen and a half years.

So there’s more competition, so you have to work harder and be right for it.

The problem is when you become so well known that everyone is watching you and you don’t have an opportunity to observe.

Part of what attracted me to the village was it had a lot of parallels to contemporary issues.

You meet a pretty girl, you’re different from when you meet a tough kid on the street.

We were all kind of thrown into the woods and we didn’t have any of the modern conveniences that we take for granted.

So that isn’t the concern. You have to do what you can do, and share what you feel is appropriate to share in the moment.

I take a lot less for granted.

The normal routine is always the same thing whether it’s on a new movie or a new job

If something is incredibly difficult to connect to, and painful, then I have to do a lot of work to connect to that and not joke around or lose sight of my job.

If I have a lack of dedication or focus, it’s permanently there as a negative reminder.

And then, it’s out of your control.

I really had a blast.

It would be terribly boring to be earnest.

You get to know one another very quickly.
