I Didn't Grow Up With Great Privilege,

I Think What Makes A Good Actor's Director Is Somebody Who Understands What I'm Doing And Is Respectful Of It, But Who Also Has A Vision And Is Directing Me Toward Their Vision In A Way That Feels Productive.

If Anybody Wanted To Photograph My Life, They'd Get Bored In A Day. 'heres Matt At Home Learning His Lines. Here's Matt Researching In Aisle Six Of His Local Library'. A Few Hours Of That And They'd Go Home.

I Found Myself Getting More Publicly Shy When The Gala Events And Big Crowds Started. Some People Embrace It. To Me, It's Not Worth Enough To Risk My Private Life Being Public.

Still, The Change Is Nearly Indescribable - Going From Total Obscurity To Walking Down A Street In New York And Having Everybody Turn And Look; To Feel The Temperature Of A Room Change When I Walked In.

There Are People Who Just Collect A Bunch Of Footage And Then Edit It Later. You Definitely Feel More Protected When A Director Is Moving On When You've Actually Felt Something Happen And You Know They're Watching Intently.
