I haven't seen 'The Exorcist,' but I've seen a lot of pictures of the girl in it. So now I don't actually want to see it. She scares me so much. I don't know what it is, but even though it's quite old now, it still has the best and scariest make-up I've ever seen in my life.

I wasn't bullied or anything, but I was treated differently because I was an actor, and I had big dreams.

I think when you have to train an accent, it just takes you absolutely into another spectrum of the character.

Vampires used to be like Dracula, and now they're young teenage kids, so yeah, I like that.

It's kind of a Peter Pan thing: I want to stay a kid. I love it. But I guess you have to grow up someday. Everybody does.

I'd really like to work with Johnny Depp: he seems like a really cool guy; he can do a lot of different things.

I think indie films have more of a fresh, experimental vibe about them, whereas studio films know what they want and can basically get it.

I'm based in L.A., mainly. I'm pretty much there a lot of the time doing work.

I think 'Paranorman' was a great adventure.

'Slow West' is a film that I did with Michael Fassbender in New Zealand and Scotland. The director was John McLean. It's a film set in the 1800s. I play a young Scottish boy brought up in the royal family. I fall in love with someone who works on our land.

My dad reads the scripts and passes them on to me.

I think everyone has been different once in their life.

In Australia, I can just say to my mom, 'I'm going down the street.' And I can walk around pretty much all the places I know.

Interviews are fun, but I get nervous at red carpets.

I'm not really sure if I have anything that inspires me.

I think, obviously, everyone has a lot of favorite movies, but I really for some reason just love Quentin Tarantino's writing and directing style.

New Orleans is awake all night, and every night is a party.

When I know I'm not doing any auditions, I go to the skate park on my scooter or my bike.

If I could choose any car in the world, I'd get a Lamborghini, but I think that's a bit too much money. I'll start off with maybe a V8 or something.

I like everything from hard-style techno to rock n' roll.

I'm always working with amazing people. They're just kind of put in my path.

I think I would play Batman. I love Batman.

My sister's an actor as well.

You shouldn't fight change. You should be absolutely open to change.

The most important thing I have learned from the people I've worked with is that you have to love what you do. That passion will drive you anywhere you want to go.
