careers looks recognition
If you look at the careers of Philip Seymour Hoffmann, Paul Giamatti, Meryl Streep, none of them shot up in terms of fame or fortune or recognition, they laid a platform of good, solid work and became better and better.
new-york thinking london
I think New York is more stylish than London.
artist interesting directors
I want to keep working. I want to step away from young adult fiction. I want to do theater periodically - Farragut North reminded me how great it is. I started out in theater. I trained in theater and then I kind of fell into film and TV. I want to work with interesting artists, talented actors, talented directors, and talented scripts. Not necessarily leading roles.
awkward video looks
I always feel kind of awkward when I look at pictures of myself. Watching videos of myself is really uncomfortable.
work-out parent actors
Less so here, I’ve noticed. I can see why there’s a misconception that it’s easier when your parents are actors, but it doesn’t work out at all. In fact, it’s the reverse.
reading free-diving hiking
I like reading, free diving and hiking. But my favorite thing to do is travel anywhere in Greece. I love everything about that place.
mean winning guy
Also I don't want to refer to myself as Maximilian. You'd have to win an Oscar or become mind-numbingly wealthy or hit 50. It's like smoking a cigar, you know what I mean? You can't be a young guy and do it.
dad thinking smoking
I've got my dad's height and smoking habit. But I think I've got my mum's looks and sensibilities.
drama trying doing-nothing
If you try to bring 'teen drama,' you end up doing nothing but pouting.
hate people want
I've always wanted to be a fighter pilot. But I don't want to kill people. I'd hate to.
doors names slamming-doors
My name has opened doors and slammed doors shut.
stories screens
Once you become the story off-screen, you are less likely to be the onscreen one.
careers normal actors
The actors I respect are the ones who see it as a career and manage to live reasonably normal lives, like Meryl Streep and Philip Seymour Hoffman.
persons i-can
The only person I can amaze is me.
