I moved out to Los Angeles a fan of many people, and meeting people I put on a pedestal that just disappointed me. Without fans, this business would not exist, so I try and say that we're all on the same level.
I took a whole stunt course and pretty much got certified as a stunt driver. It's ridiculous how easy it is once you understand the car and know how to do it.
I was very driven in high school. I worked a bunch of odd jobs. I never partied. I never drank. I was just a theater geek who was obsessed with movies.
It's all about trying to be very careful about what your next role or what your next move is gonna be. It's all about trying to have longevity in this business and make smart choices.
You can tell if you're going to be into a script within the first five or ten pages - if I'm not completely engaged by page 20, I just have to give up on it.
If everyone were a good person, it'd obviously be a better world.
My heart is in independent film-making. For me, it's where the fun, gritty storytelling is being told.
I'm obsessed with Radiohead. They're just the greatest band on the planet.
With this film, 'Need For Speed,' with this, we had a blank canvas to work with. What we had to do was have fast cars, and that's it.
I drive a 1965 Shelby Cobra. I love classic muscle cars.
That's what's so great about television. You're able to tell this long story, where you couldn't really do that in a film because you have to tell a story in an hour and a half or two hours.
I love diving into different skins, skins that make me feel deep emotions.
I love everyone over at Netflix. They're all fantastic and an absolute joy to work with.
I'm just in love with Burberry. Always have been, always will be.
