Ive Always Been Pretty Energetic.

When You See Liana [liberato], Who At The Time Was 14, There Is An Inexperience And Innocence That You Can't Act And You Can't Fake.

I Had Invited 50 Or 60 Peers And Friends, Most Of Whom Were Parents, To See The Film [trust], And I Asked About The Last Scene. It Was Interesting Because It Was Split Right Down The Middle, 50/50. About Half The Audience Wanted It To End With The Very Emotional Scene Between Clive And Liana, And That Feeling Of Realization And Catharsis. And, The Other Half Were Adamant About Keeping That Last Scene.

There Is A Danger, If You Cast Someone Who Is 18, 19 Or 20 To Play 14 Or 15, That Very Subtly, Almost Unconsciously, The Audience Is, "oh, This Isn't So Bad."

When I Was Six Years Old, My Parents Took Me To This Farmers' Market With A Petting Zoo. They Put Me On A Pony And, For Some Reason, It Took Off At A Run And They Had To Chase It Down. They Tell Me It Was Kind Of Traumatic.

I Think The Other Honest Attraction Was That I Just Grew Up Loving Watching Tv And Loving Watching Film, And There's So Many Directors And Actors That I Dreamed Of Working With, I Just Really Wanted To Take A Crack At It And See If I Could Ever Work With Some Of Those.
