When I first got into acting, I had been doing it for about a year and got really excited and felt like I could take on the world, and I moved to L.A. and kind of got a slap in the face and a piece of the real world.

You learn that even actors you see on television, you end up in the same audition room as them. You would think they have everything made, but they don't, they are working just as hard as you are to get work.

Tyson was an interesting experience, just because he was a lot of fun to play, because he was the type of guy that had zero self-esteem that tried to make it look like he had all the confidence in the world. He was very fake up front, but he had a lot of things going on inside him that were eating him up.

I don't think I'll ever get tired of it (acting). I'll definitely want to continue doing it for the rest of my life. I have thought about it, but I don't think I'll ever lose the interest for it. And maybe [I] want to get on the other side of the camera and do some directing when I get older.

I try to keep away from being bigheaded. That's what causes people to lose the acting thing. They start being commercial, and then they stink for the rest of their life. But there are several respected adult actors who were child actors that started very young. I'm going to try and model myself after Kurt Russell and Jodie Foster. Just keep learning from the role and not just go for the money.

In philosophy, they talk a lot about humans being actual organic machines, and the idea of free will is something that we've made up. We actually don't have free will. We're acting according to our programming as organic mechanisms.
