I look up to Leonardo DiCaprio and Matt Damon. I'm a huge fan of their work. I also like actors who really transform themselves, like Joaquin Phoenix. And I loved Robin Williams growing up. He does comedy and drama so brilliantly.
I think it reaffirmed something that I believed in and conceptually always had faith in which was that you're most effective when you work as a team. I love that about filmmaking. I stopped playing team sports at 15-16 because of acting. I think I find a kind of new team sport in filmmaking in a way.
I feel really blessed that I found what I love doing and was able to make it a living from such a young age. I realize that I'm really fortunate. I didn't train; I kind of got lucky. And I remember that every day. I think I have to remind myself of that to really, fully appreciate life now.
I'll just say it: I'm not the sharpest tool in the box. Being forced to go back to school is still a fear of mine.
I come from this bubble in life - I come from a great family and went to a nice school, and I have friends, and life is pretty rosy.
The thing I get a lot is, 'You've got a very recognisable face.' I'm never quite sure what to make of it.
