  • Quotes
  • Drama is something I'm good at, I guess.
  • I think it's my job as a young actor to watch adult actors and take tips on the way they work.
  • I'd say James Dean is someone that's really inspired me. Just the fact that he did only three movies before he died at such a young age, and yet everyone knows who he is. It really blows my mind.
  • I was a kid that grew up in the South and was always outdoors fishing and hunting and, you know, swimming in the pool during the summer.
  • There's not anyone in particular I'd like to work with. I just want to continue doing work that I have a passion for.
  • I just randomly fell into acting. I was so young at the time that I never really thought about acting... After I was into it, I had a feeling that I was going to end up doing this anyway somehow.
  • When I was shooting Mud (2012), every day was my favorite! I had so much fun on this film and loved working with all the cast and crew! It was a great experience.
