Wood: "I think being different, going against the grain of society is the greatest thing in the world."
Wood: "I've always looked for roles that are different. I've tried to continue to challenge myself as an actor and work in varying styles of films."
Wood: "Safety and comfort comes with complacency, and that's never a good place to be working from."
Wood: "If you're innocent, you have very little knowledge of the world, and you want to succeed. People with parasitic interests will see you as their prey."
Wood: "I just want to work on things that move me."
Wood: "If you can get your movie made the way you want to get it made, no matter what the end result is going to be, if people are going to see it, that's awesome."
Wood: "In the absence of love, there is nothing worth fighting for."
Wood: "As much as my primary vocation is that of an actor, if anything, I feel like I am more excited about filmmaking in general, so it's not always a specific role that I'm attracted to, but rather an entire piece that I want to be a part of."
Wood: "I definitely don't look my age. So I actively look for roles that will help people change their perception of me."
Wood: "It would be an amazing superpower to be able to make every person you meet feel better about the thing that makes them insecure."
Wood: "I feel like I'm constantly learning. Constantly trying to grow."
Wood: "This bizarre industry presents so many paths of temptation. If you don't have some kind of foundation, typically from family, then it will be difficult to deal with."
Wood: "The worst kind of lying I've ever done is keeping things from people."
