Dylan O’Brien „äußerte Bedenken“ bezüglich des „Maze Runner“-Sets und ihnen wurde vor dem Beinahe-Tod-Unfall „nicht zugehört“: „Ich habe versucht, mich selbst zu schützen“

> “It was a life-changing incident. I’ve approached everything differently, you could say, particularly with regards to standing my ground on set,” O’Brien said reflecting on the incident. “It’s very commonplace in the culture for young actors to be controlled, and the way they strive to do that is by always being like, ‘Oh, don’t become difficult. Don’t be a pain in the ass. Or Are you complaining, are you being difficult?’ Things like that.”

> “At the end of the day, in these spaces, you have your own back, and that’s the most you can rely on,” he added. **“I know the person I am, and the character I bring to set, and the way I treat people and the way that I treat a workspace, and I know I’m not difficult. I know I’m not an asshole. I know I was trying to protect myself that day, and so I’ve just never forgotten that. That’s always rung true as being the thing to hold with me.”**
