What was said

"I'm a disaster. I mean, it's not hard for me to be vulnerable, but then I kind of let myself down by not being consistent enough and not being dependable enough. And it's a little like, you know, I kind of just need to man up a little bit in my life and be a stronger constant."

The actor candidly admitted he has been unreliable and inconsistent in his personal relationships despite maintaining rigorous discipline in his professional work. Kinnaman stated he has allowed himself to become too affected by outside stimuli and has failed to keep his word in intimate relationships, describing himself as a disaster in that arena. He expressed a commitment to becoming more dependable and creating structure while preserving his childlike creativity.
