When accepting or preparing for a role, fear is the motivating factor.

I read "Milk" and immediately I was very emotional after reading it and then I saw the documentary - the one that Rob Epstein did - and I said that's it. I saw it with my daughter and that was it. This thing is a different thing. It's like I've been offered these kind of superhero movies or "Terminator" or whatever those movies are and I just go ahh.

I remember at the premiere of my second movie I started crying. I thought, I'm so bad that I either have to stop this and do something else or learn what I'm doing.

Back then they had Elvis and they thought Elvis was so risqué. So everyone has their perception to what innocence is.

Fear - there's always fear. You re-create yourself in every movie, don't you?

It's probably a bit of a power trip when you befriend somebody enough that they trust you to tell you things.

I grew up, especially as an actor thinking that I had to move to New York to be a good actor. But after a while you start to live the world a little bit and you start to appreciate where you're from.
