Tye Sheridan

“'Ready Player One' is an actor's dream, so - I mean, to work with Spielberg is - everything.”

“I like films that are about people and real, and honest films that are authentic depictions of real-world problems.”

“Growing up, I didn't have a chance to watch a lot of films. It wasn't until my teen years that I had to chance to see the classic films.”

“I think it's my job as a young actor to watch adult actors and take tips on the way they work.”

“You have some great films every year, but for the most part, no one is making films with heavy messages or themes. People are afraid of doing that.”

“My dad and I are, like, best friends.”

“When I was shooting 'Mud,' every day was my favourite! I had so much fun on this film and loved working with all the cast and crew! It was a great experience.”

“There's a lot of love in my house. I have the greatest parents ever.”

“I got rid of my Instagram and had a flip phone for two years. I only started one after a friend told me someone was impersonating me.”

“My first audition was for Terrence Malick's 'The Tree of Life.' These casting directors came through Texas, and they recruited somewhere around 10,000 kids to come and audition for this movie. They sent me a letter in the mail, and I went and auditioned for this movie.”

“Since I was a kid, I've always been obsessed with animation.”

“Everyone should feel comfortable in their own skin. Whether there are social standards set in place that act against that, it doesn't matter because the people that love you for who you are are going to love you always, and you should love yourself always.”

“There are films of mine that I've seen numerous times and other ones I've been in that I haven't seen at all. It depends on my experience making them.”

“This is the best film school there is, just to make movies and be there on set.”

“I've been so honored and so lucky to work with some amazing people. I've collaborated on amazing sets and with amazing crews.”

“For me, learning about cinema and the craft and the art of it, through making films with great people, has been such a cool experience.”

“When you don't understand something, it's always OK to ask questions. That's really the mentality that I've had.”

“L.A. can be a tough city, very lonely. A lot of people move here to pursue a dream, and that's understandable. But sometimes it's hard to find genuine friends.”

“I just randomly fell into acting. I was so young at the time that I never really thought about acting... After I was into it, I had a feeling that I was going to end up doing this anyway somehow.”

“I was late to the franchise; 'Days of Future Past' was the first X-Men movie I saw.”
