It's honestly just pressure that I put on myself when I'm working. It's just how I operate.
Dylan O'Brien
When a chick has a sense of humor, there's nothing more attractive.
When I was 17, I was about 5'6''.
Stiles is a version of me that rarely exists in the real world. He's so confident and extroverted, and I'm much more restrained and internal.
'Teen Wolf' ending is, like, huge. I know no acting without the show, basically.
I love baseball - 'Moneyball' was my favorite book when I was 13.
Growing up, I was in love with Jennifer Aniston from 'Friends.'
I'm excited to see what comes my way, see what I'm interested in next, and just see what happens.
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.
I want to work with filmmakers who are really smart.
It makes it easier to adapt a book that is popular with kids because of how excited they are about the project; you don't get the criticisms you would get with other projects.
The physical part was one thing. Whatever - I broke my face; that'll heal. The mental aspect was the biggest shock to the system. You just don't know how to experience stuff like that. You don't have any control over it, either. It's just how your body and brain reacts to something like that happening.
The thing I like a lot about acting is I'll never learn enough. I'll never know it inside and out.
Kissing on screen is just - funny enough, you're just acting, so you're distracted by that more than anything. Or at least I am.
I love sprinting, but I hate long-distance running. Isn't that funny?
My first semester of college, I'm going to sociology and English and psychology, and all I cared about was getting home and preparing for whatever audition I had.
I moved to California when I was twelve and I got a video camera and made little movies because I didn't have any friends yet. I would force my sister to make these movies with me - which became my YouTube channel.
Michael's great. He's everything you'd want Michael Keaton to be.
You have to latch onto somebody while you're working.
The perfect date is the one where anything and everything goes wrong, but at the end of it, all you want is to see them again.
I learned a lot about a traumatic situation and what it does to you. It really brings you closer to your family and your loved ones.
I'm a big root beer guy.
I didn't have that many friends my first few years of high school. It was very cliquey and I'm super shy, so it was hard to make friends.
I have a personality type, but it's not like I'm like, 'Oh yeah, short and brunette. That's what I like. All the time.'
It's a generational thing. It'd be great if some kids grew up with me as that Jason Bourne figure.
The 'Maze Runner' family, we all just really genuinely love each other.
In regard to performing, it couldn't be funnier that I ended up being an actor, because I'm really shy. Unless I'm really comfortable with a person.
It's really easy sometimes to get comfortable on a set and get into the groove and think it's all make-believe so nothing bad can happen.
You always have the nightmare of, you know, working with the guy that you've just admired forever, and then he's just totally disengaged and awful to be around.
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.
In high school, girls started wearing high-waisted pants with their shirts tucked into them. I don't get what that's about.
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.
I'm nervous and awkward.
Yeah, I've only been acting since I was 18 out of high school.
I'm a huge 'Indiana Jones' fan.
I just happened to step into acting. And now I can't imagine myself doing anything else.
We were walking through Petco Park after a signing, and this girl plowed through security and grabbed onto my neck and started pulling. Her grip was so impressively strong that this huge security guard was struggling to get her off of me. I was like, 'Whoa. That's kind of crazy.'
I'm very shy. I wish more people believed me when I say that.
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...'
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.
With TV, you just have to finish the days and get the episodes out. And it's always going to be an impossible schedule. That's the funny thing with TV that not a lot of people realize.
In 'Teen Wolf', I don't really have any stunts. And if I do, it's like Stiles falls on the ground or something like that.
I'll never be, at least in my mind, as cool as Jason Bourne.
I've always wanted to do action movies.
I don't really give much thought to the roles that I'd ideally love to play.
If you have a good thing going behind the scenes, you'll have a good thing going on-screen.
To me, the 'Maze Runner' fans have been so supportive of everything I have done.
I really just want to work with good directors and learn as much as I possibly can.
Part of growing up is realizing you learn to love so many people. It's about forming those relationships and finding what will last forever.
I never have an opinion about clothes and know nothing about fashion.
