Sebastian Stan

Sebastian Stan: (about the single-digit temperatures while filming The Covenant) That was one of the hardest things to deal with because it was very, very cold. Basically we would shoot the scene, and instantly when we heard 'Cut' everybody would run towards us with blankets and throw them on us.

Sebastian Stan: (about the TV show Kings) I'm really happy to be a part of something that's thought-provoking and inspiring. Hopefully people will think about that. We have plenty of things that we should be aware of, that are going on now, especially for my generation.

Sebastian: (on Gossip Girl character, Carter Baizen) I think they're bringing him back on Gossip Girl just to cause more drama - like there isn't enough already.

Sebastian Stan: (on the edgy roles he's always playing) I just gravitate towards flawed, conflicted, troubled people.

Sebastian: (about actors who inspired him) I have a bit of an obsession with the 1950's and all those actors from Montgomery Clift to James Dean and Anthony Perkins. Just that whole era of Tennessee Williams to Elia Kazan. The whole idea of New York and the whole thing becomes kind of romantic in your head.

Sebastian Stan: (on prepping for his role on Kings) I did research on Prince Harry and the pressures of growing up under the media eye, under that camera which is this crazy, metallic, alien thing.

Sebastian Stan: (about working with Ashton Kutcher on Spread) When I worked with Ashton, what I really admired about him was that he had a solid idea about every frame. He knew what to do based on the position of the camera and the lighting, and you have to be aware of all those things when you do film. That's the challenge.

Sebastian: (talking about The Covenant) I always want to describe it as Harry Potter meets the Matrix. I mean, there is an element that it can be compared to Harry Potter in terms of the school educational system, but it is much more darker than that.

Sebastian: (on working with director Jonathan Demme) The overall experience was incredible. It was really spontaneous, and he gave us so much freedom to work off of each other and discover things in the moment.

Sebastian Stan: Theater feels more organic, there's no stop and go. Film is a whole different animal.

Sebastian: (on his role as Prince Jack on Kings) Is it really a big deal for a network to have a gay character anymore? The question is whether or not Jack can be an influential political figure by being who he is.

Sebastian Stan: (on Harry & Nikki in the film, Spread) We kind of have that Vince Vaughn-Jon Favreau relationship.

Sebastian: (about his guest role on Law & Order) It was my first real professional experience, and thank god I had a very nurturing director. Things move quickly on that show, and I was pretty paranoid!

Sebastian: (on his move from Europe to Rockland County, NY at the age of 12) When you're thrown into something so young, you don't think about it too much. I was an only child, so it took me a while to form friends because my stepdad was the headmaster, and I had an accent for a while, but it was still early and you just sort of suck in everything at that age.

Sebastian: (On Myspace) I joined myspace a long time ago for a different reason, but now it's become a whole different thing for me. It's crazy getting some of these messages. You can't really respond to everybody, but you want to make sure that people understand how much you appreciate hearing from them.

Sebastian: To be honest, as this world goes, is to be one man picked out of ten thousand.
