I'm Not Someone Who Works A Lot, And What I Mean By That Is That I Have A Project And I Focus On It, And I Don't Spread Myself Too Thin. I Try To Give As Much As I Can To That Project, And If We Have A Lot Of Time, That's Amazing For Me, Because I Like To Really Dive Deep And Do As Much As I Can.

More From Logan Lerman

I Started Doing Roles And Working With People That I Really Respected And Became Passionate About The Art Form Of Acting. And I'm Still Trying To Figure It Out. Still Learning.

I’d Say A Man Is Someone Who Is Honest, Strong-minded, Moral, Genuine, Just A Good Human Being.

I Started Studying Filmmakers, And I Would Say Early On The Ones That Really Inspired Me The Most Were Like The Field Magicians Of Music Videos.

What You Choose To Do Professionally Is A Reflection Of Yourself And I Take That Seriously As An Actor. But Even As A Filmmaker, I Take It Even More Seriously.

I Love Learning From The Filmmakers That I'm Working With, But More Importantly, I Love Learning From The Crew.

I Have A Hard Time Watching Myself.

I Would Add A Little More Love In The World. It's Ridiculous, I Know, But It Is One Thing I Would Do.

When I Receive A New Role, I Completely Become My Character.

I Would Love To Shoot On Film, But You Can't Really Shoot A Lot Of Footage On Film, And You Can't Print A Lot Of It.

Jews Took It Very Seriously To Marry Other Jews And Repopulate The Jewish Bloodline, And My Father's Generation Gets Very Serious In My Household When They're Like, "you Have To Marry Another Jew," Because That's Still Kind Of The Mentality Coming From The Baby Boomers. So I Know That Type Of Pressure.

When I'm Back At Home It's Just Reality. I Kind Of Separate Myself From Hollywood.

When Filming, I Like To Travel With An Instrument.

I Want To Be A Good Actor More Than Anything - Someone You Can Respect.

Berlin Is My Favourite City.

The Film Makers Are The True Movie Stars.

The Goonies' Is Classic. That's, Like, The Movie I Bring With Me If I Go Out Of Town For A Long Time, Because It Just Makes Me Think Of The Best Times I've Seen It With My Friends Growing Up. Dude, Everybody Knows That Movie, Everybody Watches That Film. Best Family Film Ever Made.

I Don't Get The Jitters And I Don't Get Nervous, Because I Build That Comfort On Set For Myself. Sometimes If I'm Gonna Do Something Really Crazy, It Helps Me To Yell Or Look Like An Idiot On Set, So That When I'm About To Do A Scene, I've Already Embarrassed Myself. I Find Ways To Work Around Getting The Jitters.

My Ideal Role Would Be The Lead In A Film With A Director That I Really Appreciate And Admire.

I Know What It Means To Be Jewish, And I Don't Think Someone Who Wasn't Jewish Would Really Understand.

I'm Just Trying To Find A Good Project. Work With A Good Director, Someone I Really Admire. Find A Good Role.

I'd Say People That Really Inspired Me At First Were Like, Dustin Hoffman, Jim Carrey... Serious Jim Carrey Though.

I Just Don't Want To Repeat The Same Thing Over And Over Again, So I'm Always Looking For Something That's Going To Be Challenging And Make Me Nervous Every Time I Start A Project.

You Would Assume That A Filmmaker Should Know How To Edit, But Pretty Much Every Filmmaker I've Worked With Doesn't Know How To Edit.

It's My Passion, That's What I Wanna Do, It's The End Goal, That's What I Crave Every Second Of The Day Is To Be Working On A Production But Also To Be The Person Leading The Production And Guiding The Pacing Of The Storytelling.

When I Was Five I Thought Auditions Were A Great Way To Get Out Of School!

I'm In A Position Where - I Mean, Not A Lot Of People Are In A Very Fortunate Position - Where I Kind Of Have The Power To Choose What I Want To Do In A Way.

I Really Started Acting When I Was 12 When I Was Doing This Television Show Called 'jack & Bobby.'

I'm Doing 'the Perks Of Being A Wallflower'. It Was A Book I Read When I Was Younger, And It Just Changed My Life, And I Just Wanted To Be A Part Of It.

You're Not Really Just A Filmmaker That Makes A Movie Good Most Of The Time. It's Everybody Involved; It's A Collective Effort.

Collective Effort

As You Get Older, There Are Different Types Of Roles In People's Lives At Certain Ages.

You Can't Print Everything And That's Not Good For Filmmaking, Because You Wanna Have As Many Options As Possible And Print As Much As You Can, But If You're Going To Shoot A Film - An Independent Movie On Film, The Only Way To Really Do It Is To Print Your Selects.

Honestly, My Character Doesn't Have Much In Common With Harry Potter Besides The Fact That He's An Unlikely Hero Who's Thrown Into A Huge Situation.

The Filmmakers That I Studied And Appreciated Growing Up Are The Ones That Are Able To Dictate Their Vision Clearly To Each Department, And They Know The Language Of How To Communicate With Each Department Well Enough, So That Their Vision Is Clearly Transferred To The Screen. So I Like To Spend Time On Sets Learning From All Of The Departments And Seeing How They Approach Their Jobs. It's Not Just Filmmakers, You Know? There's So Many Mediums Involved. I Love Learning About All Of The Mediums.

If I Had A Script That I Was Ready To Shoot Tomorrow, I'd Work On It Every Day Until We Got Into Production As Soon As Possible, But I Don't Have That Script Yet, So I'm Trying To Find And Support Writers, Really Young Writers And Hopefully Come Across A Story That I Wanna Tell One Day.

I Love Movie Sets. It's Another Home For Me. Movie Theaters And Movie Sets - They're Just The Best Places To Be. I Love Them.

I'm Not Someone Who Works A Lot, And What I Mean By That Is That I Have A Project And I Focus On It, And I Don't Spread Myself Too Thin. I Try To Give As Much As I Can To That Project, And If We Have A Lot Of Time, That's Amazing For Me, Because I Like To Really Dive Deep And Do As Much As I Can.

I Don't Really Look Around And Say, 'i've Made It.' I Just Look Around And Think How Fortunate I Am To Work With The People I'm Working With.

One Thing A Girl Has To Have Is A Good Sense Of A Humor. I'm A Really Laid Back Guy Who Can Find Humor In Just About Anything, So My Girlfriend Would Need To Be A Little Like That Too. She Doesn't Have To Be A Big Jokester, But To Me Finding Humor In Things And Not Taking Too Much Too Seriously Is A Way Of Enjoying Life, So That Is Important To Me.

I Know These Will Become Old Stories Someday And Our Pictures Will Become Old Photographs And We'll All Become Somebody's Mom Or Dad, But Right Now, These Moments Are Not Stories. This Is Happening And I'm Here.

Some People Don't Have An Open Mind, And When I Was Traveling To Different Places I Think I Found It Hard To Enjoy Things. You Know, I Come From A Great City Where There Are Lots Of Things Happening, And If You End Up In A Small Town Where You Don't Have All Those Things You Can Feel The Difference. Somewhere Along The Way, Though, I Think I Learned To Appreciate The Difference.

I've Definitely Had The Experience Where I Was Pursuing Someone For A Long Time That I Just Obviously Did Not Connect With, So I Was Always, Kind Of Altering Myself For Her. But Then You Realize It's Just Not Worth It. What's The Point?

Growing Up, I Had A Very Normal Relationship With My Brother And Sister. But, Over Time, They Became My Best Friends, And Now I Hang Out With Them All The Time. I'm Very Close With Them.

The Idea Of Working With David Fincher Or Paul Thomas Anderson Or Wes Anderson Or Scorsese Or Spielberg Or Any Of The Guys I Really Idolize Is A Dream For Me.

It Is Obvious When An Actor Has Put Work Into Prep And Research And Understanding Their Character, And They're Making Choices, Because That's What Happens When You Take The Time - Or Have The Time - To Really Think About The Material, But That Only Accounts For About 60% Of What Happens On The Day. When You're In The Moment, You Throw It All Away. Well, You Don't Throw It All Away, But It's In You Now, And Everything Is Reactionary In That Moment And You Have To Be Honest And Present And Listening.

It's Like, To Me, Acting Is Like A Child Walking In The Park, The Better The Actor, The Greater The Playground He Has.

One Day, I'll Stop Making Weird Faces In Pictures. But Not Today.

I’ve Written A Lot And Brainstorm Ideas, And I Plan On Pursuing Them Very Soon.

I Just Love Being In The U.k.

My Whole Family Is In Orthotics And Prosthetics, So I Grew Up Having To Check For Scoliosis Every Week. 'come Over. Let Me Feel Your Spine.

I Grew Up Going To School And High School And Then Shooting A Movie For A Few Months. It's An Odd Way To Grow Up And Is Kind Of Forced Maturity.

I Just Want To Make Sure I'm Contributing Good Films To Movie History Rather Than Being Famous Just To Be Famous.

Fun. I'm Not The Kind Of Guy Kids Picked On In School, But I've Seen It Happen. I've Never Really Given Much Thought To Being Cool. I Don't Really Think About It One Way Or The Other.

I Did A Commercial When I Was, Like, 5 Or 6 Years Old For... What Was It Called?... Cabbage Patch Kids! That Was The First Thing I Ever Did. Little Bit Embarrassing.

A Lot Of Times, When I'm Approaching Pre-production And My Job, And Trying To Research And Work On The Script And Whatnot It's Always Different.

A Lot Of Times I'm On My Own Trying To Find Research Material And Things Like That And Trying To Educate Myself On The World And The Film That I'm Working On.

It's Really Interesting To Observe Each Filmmaker's Approach To Filmmaking And I Feel Very Fortunate To Have Worked With A Lot Of Really Interesting Filmmakers And They All Approach Their Job In Unique Ways.

Film Is A Collection Of Many Mediums And Collaboration And You're Only As Strong As The People You're Working With - And Everybody Owns Their Mediums.

Life Is A Rollercoaster Ride And I Don't Intend On Being The One Screaming And Hanging On For Dear Life.

I Appreciate Film Actors Who Respect The Film Making Process.

I Got Into Acting To Get My Foot In The Door For Film-making.

I'm Always In The Theater Seeing Everything, Good Or Bad.

For Me, Being Able To Be Vulnerable Is Difficult, But It's Just Something That I Feel Comfortable Doing. I Need To Fully Understand Why, The Thought-process Behind The Character And I Have To Believe It. That Comes From A Lot Of Preparation.

I Started Working With James [schamus] Early On, And My Role As An Executive Producer Was More About Being Involved In The Conversations Of Putting The Film Together. I Didn't Have To Do Much Work Because James Is The Most Experienced First-time Director You Could Imagine.
