While he made some disparaging remarks about the franchise last week, it seems like Miles Teller isn't completely down on the Divergent series as initially thought and wants to clear the air about that and his co-star Shailene Woodley's living habits.

Which 'Insurgent' Character's Death Has Been Confirmed Already?

Speaking with Yahoo! on Friday, Teller talked about his relationship with Woodley and what it is like to try and communicate with her.

"Yeah. That's because she doesn't have a phone and she lives in a tree. I was just talking to her earlier. She talks to me for a little bit, then she'll just f---ing disappear," Teller said.

"We shot it through 19 days. There wasn't a lot of time to [prepare]. I didn't want to be hungover or anything. So it was the first movie where I stopped talking to my friends and kind of shut myself off, yeah."

He also talked about what it was like to shoot Divergent, which Teller notes was his first very long shoot that he had ever done.

"Divergent was a long shoot. It was four months, and it was my first long shoot like that," he said. "Afterwards I just thought I would take a break from it, because even the year before that I did four films back-to-back-to-back."

Teller also clarified what he meant when he made the comments he did last week about Divergent and why it was taken out of context.

"I thought the way it was framed was unexpected. I talked to [the reporter] for like an hour, and that wasn't like a focus of discussion. But when you say "business [decision]," people think you're talking about money," Teller said.

"It's like, 'Dude, we didn't get paid a ton of money on Divergent.' I've been offered so much more money to do s--tty scripts. I did [Divergent] because I was able to work with Shailene. And yeah, it was a bigger movie for me. I got to be a small part in hopefully a big, successful movie, man. And that's also good for your career."

Insurgent is set to open in theaters on March 20, 2015.
