Mike Mills Came Quotations

He came through the door and he was really nervous, which again made me excited because, OK, this isn't someone who is professional and wearing a mask and being slick and all that. His first take was horrible, and I was totally crestfallen. I told him to stop acting, and he nailed it. It was a sort of 'meant to be' type of thing.

I had to find a young person who was willing to show his fear in a way that's not fake. The character is very vulnerable and exposed. When Lou came in, he had this nervousness that he didn't try to hide. He was a real kid - but he was also an amazing actor.
