If I’m reading a script, and I’m not buying it, I need to be able to relate to the character on some level, and they need to have more than one dimension.

Every field piece I did on ‘The Daily Show’ was a story that lasted five to six minutes. We had a protagonist, we had an antagonist and often put them at odds.

I always tell myself that when you’re playing a character, pretend they’re on trial and you’re giving the best witness of their life.

Any real person has a front and a real part to themselves. Ansel Elgort
I do what I do to inspire people. They can’t be inspired by an ego, a big-headed person. It doesn’t work. It doesn’t match. And I really want to be that role model for people, for children.

In L.A., I was meeting people who were all actors. My mind started to open up to what acting was. I didn’t realize that Brad Pitt was a real person.

No one can just say, ‘Hey, I’m going to be a NASCAR driver.’ Kellan Lutz
Whenever I’m talking about relationships, it’s always at least three things. It’s my relationship with myself, my relationship with God or an idea, and then usually somebody, a real person.
