How do あなた relate to your Perks character? How do あなた differ?
I enjoy 書く and 音楽 like Charlie does, but honestly I don’t feel that we’re very similar. That’s actually what made this role so interesting for me. I’m definitely not as introverted または neurotic as Charlie! He is very naïve. I don’t think I was like that at that age.
What was the first book that あなた felt had a deep impact on you? What was the most 最近 that’s had a similar effect?
I’d have to say The Giving Tree, it was such a simple but profound book. The Great Gatsby too. I recently read David Sedaris’s When あなた Are Engulfed in Flames.
Besides acting,how else do あなた express yourself?
I 愛 to play music, that’s the main way. But I 愛 書く as well.
How did あなた get into the early ’90s mind-set?
Other than having to use a tape deck during filming, I don’t feel as if I necessarily had to change my mind-set. with the ’90s having been portrayed in the media so much anyway, I guess I already had a familiarity with the time period. Youth culture will always be youth culture, but it’s definitely different with the Internet, social media, and everyone being constantly connected.
What major message of The Perks of Being a Wallflower do あなた connect with most?
I most connected with the idea that あなた should be able to do what あなた want to do and be who あなた want to be and not worry so much about conformity—especially the conformity that comes with regional affiliation.
What excites あなた most about a future in film and acting? What scares または intimidates あなた most?
The idea of continuing to work with great filmmakers is always so exciting to me. What scares me the most is that I have a career in acting.
What role does 音楽 play in your life? How do あなた discover new music? What are your お気に入り bands?
Music plays a HUGE role in my life, it’s the way I unwind and express myself. It’s very therapeutic to me, and playing 音楽 after 読書 a script helps me sort of tonally figure out the role I’m about to play. フレンズ tell me about great new music, and I 検索 through the Genius part of iTunes too. I’m really into Arcade Fire, Neil Young, the Strokes, the Velvet Underground, and the Rolling Stones.
