When we were shooting 'The Book Thief,' I was keeping all these journals. And I remember talking to my mom, really trying to verbalize all the experiences I was having. And I remember my mom saying, 'Ben, reflection is a retroactive process.' When you're going through it, that's the time to just let it wash over you.

When you're doing a play, you don't always have a practical world that you're working off of. You have to create it for yourself.

All those little acting rules you get, one of the interesting ones is, 'Play the opposite. Don't play 'victim.'
