Quotes from Max Minghella

I'm very schizophrenic and malleable as a human being.

I'm so disappointed in the frat parties at Columbia. I'm like an English boy going to an American college. I'm thinking cheerleaders, I'm thinking kegs. That's not what's on the cards.

I wanted to write in film or something like that. I thought acting was an embarrassing thing to say you wanted to do, especially when you're young. It seemed really uncool.

I always prefer shooting on locations, because when I'm at home, it's harder to sort of get lost in the world of whatever you're making.

'Mean Girls' is awesome.

I love romantic comedies.

The weird thing about acting is you're the most competent when you're at your best, but you have to be validated.

26 is my favourite number.

The media in the States can be quite self-reflective. When I lived in England, I was much more aware of the day-to-day politics that were happening.

I'm on Twitter. I love Twitter because I'm kind of voyeuristic. I don't tweet, but I look at other people's.

I remember, when I started acting officially, I was unbelievably green. My first audition tapes were just horrendous.

I think I still want to be a music director as a grown man.

I've always found that acting has been quite a hard thing to pre-manage because so much of it is spontaneous and the circumstances so uncontrolled.

We just have to accept who we are, and I'm a film nerd, for better or worse.

I think it'd be pretty unrealistic to think we're the only planet in the world with thinking beings. It's kind of a strange conceit. Especially given how many universes there must be.

I behave differently in different situations, and I'm slightly unstable and insecure, which I think are natural conditions of what I do. And I have a weird ear. Whatever I hear, I emulate. When I was a kid I did impressions: Forrest Gump, Rain Man, really big caricatures.

I'm an only child, and so I over-rely on my friends to lend their support.

My dad had a company, and there were various films that hadn't gone into production that I'm trying to nurture.
