25 Quotes by Wyatt Russell

Having parents that have been through the wars of films and having a brother and sister who have done it at the highest level, you gain an appreciation. But we've always had closeness as a family. That's our anchor.

My parents are actors and never brought work home. I didn't even know what they did until I was about 10 years old. We never talked about it.

I went on an audition. I walked in the room, and it was Leslie Mann with Judd Apatow. It was intimidating.

Acting was what everybody thought I should do, and at 15, when you love something so much, it's like - 'That's not what I do. That's what they do.'
