'Mirrors' hitmaker Justin Timberlake has revealed that after working as an actor for a number of years now, he has learned how to pick a great film project from a selection of offers.

Speaking to The Metro, the superstar explained that he chooses movies based on how inspired he is by the script and has become really good at finding the ones that stand out: "I feel pretty good about it. I just feel as though I try to make specific choices for the projects that are inspiring to me.

"If I can continue to do that, then I'll be gratified by whatever the outcome is. The more you get to work, the more you realise the journey and the process are the parts you remember forever."

"Sometimes movies are an experience you didn't expect they were going to be. I think you hope for the best and expect the worst, and if it ends up in the middle, you're fine."
