I don't feel that fear is a good incentive on a film set.
I'm like a magpie. I use lots of different things to build a character.
I would find myself getting deeply distressed if I lived in hindsight all the time.
I spend my working life pretending to be someone else.
I don't really have any regrets because if I choose not to do something there is usually a very good reason. Once I've made the decision I don't view it as a missed opportunity, just a different path.
I take the fan response very seriously and respond personally to my fan mail.
