I'm doing 'The Perks of Being a Wallflower'. It was a book I read when I was younger, and it just changed my life, and I just wanted to be a part of it.

It's like, to me, acting is like a child walking in the park, the better the actor, the greater the playground he has.

I’d say a man is someone who is honest, strong-minded, moral, genuine, just a good human being.

I would add a little more love in the world. It's ridiculous, I know, but it is one thing I would do.

Fun. I'm not the kind of guy kids picked on in school, but I've seen it happen. I've never really given much thought to being cool. I don't really think about it one way or the other.

I just want to make sure I'm contributing good films to movie history rather than being famous just to be famous.

One day, I'll stop making weird faces in pictures. But not today.

My whole family is in orthotics and prosthetics, so I grew up having to check for scoliosis every week. 'Come over. Let me feel your spine.

Life is a rollercoaster ride and I don't intend on being the one screaming and hanging on for dear life.

I don't really look around and say, 'I've made it.' I just look around and think how fortunate I am to work with the people I'm working with.

I want to be a good actor more than anything - someone you can respect.

Life is cold

I think that one possible definition of our modern culture is that it is one in which nine-tenths of our intellectuals can't read any poetry.

I firmly believe that you can't get a good movie without risking a bad movie.

I mean I have had a very combative relationship with critics because I'm very impatient with people that don't give my work the respect I feel it deserves.

Almost every natural man that hears of hell, flatters himself that he shall escape it.

I used to pray that God would make me a great athlete, and He never did.

Power wears out those who do not have it.

Great minds against themselves conspire, and shun the cure they most desire.

I don't need a guarantee if I have you.
