I didn't have that normal teenage period when you build up your friends in your area and you have a social circle.

I love Steve Carell and Will Ferrell - they're my heroes.

It's mainly about working hard and proving to people you're serious about it, and stretching yourself and learning. The mistake a lot of actors make, particularly young ones, is allowing themselves to feel that they're the finished articles, the bee's knees, and it's not true.

I used to joke I was a point-and-click actor. My whole process has been about trusting your instincts and hitting your mark.

I was very much a product of the public-school system. There was only one other kid in my class who had parents not involved in the stock market or law.
