“I wanted to do something in film. I wanted to make my own movies. Some...” — Finn Wolfhard Quote

I wanted to do something in film. I wanted to make my own movies. Something clicked in my brain, like, 'Oh, I can physically act! I can go on open casting calls and audition for something.'

I was raised in a household where kids' opinions were just as valued as adults and I think that was important for me.

I need time to do whatever I want to do. What happens to an actor that has no life experience? They don't know how to act as a different role. So, that's really important to do.

I think growing up in Vancouver is a different lifestyle than growing up in most other places.

So I went and did an audition and became the biggest radio actor in Sydney, and that's how it all started.

Auditions are hard. You should see what most of the women look like when I audition for things - they look like they should be on the catwalk.

I still audition a lot and work really hard to get work. So I don't really walk around feeling like I've made it. My short term goals are really just to be creatively stimulated and to be excited about material I might be working on.

I also think if you're an actor and you can improvise, when you go on an audition and you can improvise you're just a genius. If you can, you know, take a Tide commercial and you can just say one funny line that's not in the commercial they think you're a genius.
