Lerman: "I just want to make sure I'm contributing good films to movie history rather than being famous just to be famous."
Lerman: "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."
Lerman: "I'm just trying to find a good project. Work with a good director, someone I really admire. Find a good role."
Lerman: "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."
Lerman: "I'm not the kind of guy who got into this to be famous."
Lerman: "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."
Lerman: "I've always been able to just go off for a couple of months, shoot a film, go back to school and have my regular life."
Lerman: "I'm from Los Angeles and acting was accessible. There's always a place to wait in line for an audition and I kind of begged my parents to take me. My mom nurtured my career and helped me climb the ladder. I have had a passion for movies from a young age. I first got interested in acting when I was probably four or five."
Lerman: "They say every year you put off university is like three years if you want to go back. But, for now, this seems like the right path."
Lerman: "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?"
Lerman: "I got into acting to get my foot in the door for film-making."
Lerman: "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."
Lerman: "I want to be a good actor more than anything - someone you can respect."
Lerman: "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."
Lerman: "When I was five I thought auditions were a great way to get out of school!"
Lerman: "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."
Lerman: "I'm always in the theater seeing everything, good or bad."
Lerman: "There really isn't a dream role, but there's a dream situation where I could work with a director that I idolize. So, 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."
Lerman: "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."
