O'Brien: "I'm excited to see what comes my way, see what I'm interested in next, and just see what happens."
O'Brien: "Honestly, man, I'm not somebody who wants the celebrity. I could really care less about that stuff. I know everyone says it, but I get overwhelmed by it all sometimes."
O'Brien: "The thing I like a lot about acting is I'll never learn enough. I'll never know it inside and out."
O'Brien: "When I was younger, I used to just want to please everybody and not want to be an issue or not be considered a diva. I've just grown up and realized you have to look out for yourself and stick up for yourself, and there's nothing wrong with that."
O'Brien: "I'm still on the ground, so I just do my thing."
O'Brien: "I'll always be reading a good book. I don't have, like, specific genre tastes or anything or things that I kind of get hooked on, reading genre books or anything like that. It's just really anything anyone kind of recommends or is going around or I hear is good."
O'Brien: "I really try to live my life a little more, in ways I would hold back from previously."
O'Brien: "Just going out and seeing friends, not being cooped up in my house because I don't want to get my picture taken or anything like that - I've tried to let go of that stuff a bit, accept that it's going to happen to me, and not let it prevent me from doing anything I want to do, which I have in the past."
O'Brien: "Yeah, I've only been acting since I was 18 out of high school."
O'Brien: "I just want to work with good filmmakers and do good projects that mean something to me and play interesting characters. That's really it."
O'Brien: "I don't really give much thought to the roles that I'd ideally love to play."
O'Brien: "As an actor, you blindly put your trust in experts - and if they tell you something's safe, you don't fully vet it yourself. If you're young and inexperienced, that's just what you're taught to do."
O'Brien: "It's honestly just pressure that I put on myself when I'm working. It's just how I operate."
O'Brien: "I'd like to get into some sort of workout regimen so I can properly be healthy and exercise like a normal human being. I seem to not do that... ever."
O'Brien: "I just happened to step into acting. And now I can't imagine myself doing anything else."
O'Brien: "I was in school, but I wasn't into school. I wasn't doing what I wanted to be doing in school, which was film studies. That was what I intended on doing, but I didn't go away to a university because I wanted to stay in L.A. and audition while I took classes, so I elected to go to a community college and just take G.E. courses. It was terrible."
O'Brien: "I'm nervous and awkward."
O'Brien: "I just really like fun, cool, interesting, quirky girls. And sometimes you find that in 6'2 model bodies and sometimes they're short and brunette. All shapes and sizes - it's really about the personality. That sounds cliche, but it's so freaking true!"
O'Brien: "I'm very shy. I wish more people believed me when I say that."
O'Brien: "I always assume that a chick is not into me. So it's never natural for me to be like, 'Check out that girl in the corner. She's waiting for me to come up to her. I'm gonna to work my six-step process...'"
O'Brien: "I can run pretty quick."
