This created world really helped me as an actor. It heightened everything, which made it more dangerous, more interesting and more liberating.

Dad, I really want to become an actor, but if this is what it's all about, I don't want to do it.

The role of Rimbaud is one of the most important roles to play for a young actor.

As a kid, I was going to be a marine biologist or an actor. When I became successful as an actor, I said, 'Well, maybe I can lend a voice to this with an equal passion.' You realize how lucky we are and how destructive we've been and what little regard we have for the natural world.

My dad's probably one of the kindest people in the world. When I was younger that's not how I was- I was a little spoiled brat.

My mom, Irmelin, taught me the value of life. Her own life was saved by my grandmother during World War II.
