Kids before they're 7 or 8 are like little manic obsessives. They become completely hooked on things and they're slightly crazy.
I'm a big fan of comedies and dramas, and I watch tons of movies.
You won't find a better young actor than Jaeden Lieberher. I ended up having one of the best times with him, really. Going to work with him every day was a treat.
It's important to me that everyone is treated with respect.
There are a lot of people who go through a lot of tough things, and it doesn't stop them from wanting to be a better parent.
No matter who the character is and how big their role, that each person in the story is a human being and deserves respect. Even if they're in the story for ten seconds, I didn't want you to just see them as this entity passing through that's serving all of the other people.
I believe that we live in a time of fractured families where maybe fathers aren't getting enough time to see their kids because life's complications and hardships get in the way of those things.
I'm one of those actors where usually I'll read a script, and then I'll have a flurry of notes. I'll ask a hundred questions about things, and really get in there and examine it.
I find sometimes that if you do too many takes, it starts to become meaningless to me. It is hard to sustain it for me. I don't want to do too many.
I don't just like to have 1 take, but not too many. I think it is good to keep it alive.
You come ready to work when you know that you are going to get a couple of gos and it. It kind of galvanizes everything and there is something about it that keeps it very alive.
Very often on films, even without a producer credit, I'll be involved, very early on. I want to be there as the thing is taking shape.
A lot of the projects that I do, I like to be involved with earlier. I just feel that, certainly from an acting point of view, it's easier to do my job, if I'm included in what the intentions are, for why people are doing what they're doing, especially with a director.
I certainly am not a great believer in over-rehearsing between actors, and certainly not doing the dialogue too much.
One of the things I love, more than anything, is jumping around and playing lots of different parts. I love the variety of playing different characters.
For an actor, it's very important to get a clear idea of what a director wants, and their intention for what they want to get out of a scene and how they want to shoot it. Having that knowledge is really valuable, for an actor. It means you can deliver more.
Acting is all about likability.
One of the views of the [actor's] job is that whatever age you are, there's a role that's about who you are and where you are. There are parts for that age that you can bring things to.
I never aspired to be anything. What I've done is beyond my wildest.
When I look back, if I'd played something differently, it might not have gone the way it did. So I don't feel like going back to my twenties and changing anything.
I've got an age that I do think of myself.
I don't like being consumed by work all the time. I consume myself so much when I do a part that I like to step away from it.
I go home to London in between jobs, and in London, my life has nothing to do with the business. It's a family life, hanging with friends.
Movies are certainly a director's medium, so getting the opportunity to work with really good directors is everything to me.
America's been very, very good to me. I've been very lucky and worked a lot there, and appreciate and love the work that I've done.
