We all have monsters inside of us, and we all have an inner child in us. You always think about your inner child as being the sweet and innocent part of yourself, but it’s also the part that’s all ego with the mentality of, “If the world isn’t pleasing me, it isn’t doing its job.”

You want to give the director what they want, and you don’t always know exactly how it goes, so you want to try it a few different ways. You have to be flexible; you have to be in collaboration with the director; you have to be versatile. But you also want to be protective of what you really believe in and how you feel it should be portrayed.

In film, you’re so much in the hands and at the mercy of the editor, so sometimes it’s good to watch it just to see how it turns out – it can be so different than how you imagined it. But sometimes it’s better to just let it go for your own sense of self worth.
-Finn Wittrock
Sometimes you’re watching a great film actor, and if you stand 10 feet away from them, you’re like, “God, they’re terrible. They’re not doing anything.” And then you see the close-up and it’s so nuanced and so much expression is happening. They were acting for that camera and for no one else.

As an actor, you look at some people and know if they’re there with you or not.
-Finn Wittrock
You can imagine an already unstable mind that’s completely entitled and has been given anything they wanted, throughout their whole life, and lived in a bubble with a domineering, in a very quietly manipulating way, mother, that child mentality never gets a chance to mature and discover its own limitations. It just runs rampant.

Physically, I was always moving. I was always a little jittery.

Writing is something Ive always done on the side. I thought that no one would be interested, so I kept it to myself.
