I consider myself incredibly lucky in my life with this job. All I want to do next in my career is to continue to act in films, to play different roles that would surprise, inspire people, make them change their attitude towards life.

I can't write screenplays or stories, I'm pretty terrible at it. Unlike drawing, this has never been easy for me. Draw something on a piece of paper - that's my therapy, so I go through difficulties.

I think that humor is the most attractive feature in a person, but of course, if a person is deprived of it, it means nothing by and large, given the fact that when you love someone, you just love, no matter what sometimes you can’t even explain why exactly this feeling arises.

Don't let your flaws define you. Be who you are. Be the best version of yourself. If you're a good person, just be good. If you make art to please people, well, that will never happen..

I really love antiheroes. They are funny. In a sense, even unpredictable. It's fun to play someone who can surprise you at any moment, even if you've been preparing for the role for months. Although I've always been a good boy, yes. I never bred anyone, did not throw, and so on.

I'm really a lousy writer. I don’t even sign photos on Instagram because I’m stupid. You know, if you see a laconic and witty comment on a picture on my profile, I probably paid my sister for it. Or pleaded with her friends, like, “Just write something, please. I'll give you this dress in exchange for a signature." Barter system and all that.

Have you heard the expression that there are no small roles, there are small actors? Shit is complete. As an actor, you are at the mercy of the words you are allowed to say. And from now on, I will try to pronounce only well-written words. I will not try to manipulate the path of my career. I just want to be able to play different people and keep mixing them up.

Many people have told me that it is always worth continuing to learn and challenge yourself. Don't wait until you get a chance to play a role that requires an Australian accent, but learn it ahead of time. Teach when you have time. For example, on a day off. Try archery. Read new books. Learn, grow, move, change. Don't wait to be asked to do something new. Everything new needs to be tried by yourself. Just do everything! All this greatly helps and affects the success of the work. In most cases, new opportunities are given to people who are ready to be those lucky ones, I guess. Get ready for what you get.

I do not associate myself with a strong and independent woman at all. I just have a certain drive, an internal engine that motivates me. However, I understand that the opportunity to broadcast my opinion to a wide audience is a very great privilege, and I treat it with all responsibility.

My parents didn't want me to audition until I was more or less emotionally stable, although I'm still working on it to this day! I got my first role at fifteen, and it's the best thing that could ever happen to me, because I had the opportunity to put all this crazy teenage energy into something good.

I am Jewish from Los Angeles. Quite often in my community, I joke that what is wrong with you if you do not see a therapist, while the rest of the world thinks that if you go to the doctor and share your experiences, then this is your problem. . And I understand that really smart people suffer from panic attacks and depression most often. Our world is a very harsh place, and if you realize how bad things are, there will certainly be psychological consequences.

Sometimes we feel like strangers in society, it seems to us that we lie to everyone, but I believe that this feature is inherent in absolutely all people, this is a natural thing. I wish I could give some advice on how to deal with this, but I'm still trying to figure out the answer myself. I think the whole point is that you need to learn to be in harmony with yourself, which in itself is very difficult. We all go a long way towards self-discovery, empowerment.

I think I'm close to... or already going through a quarter-life crisis. And I can't help it. The only thing left for me is to “catch the wave”. There are a lot of existential thoughts in my head. What does all of this mean? How did we get here? Why do we exist on this planet? I constantly have to pull myself up, they say: “Zoey, just stop.”

Falling in love with someone for real is the craziest thing that can happen to us in life. You know, allowing yourself to really get into those feelings, to experience it all for yourself, is supremely terrifying.
