If you're not intimidated or maybe a little weary of taking on a role, then it may not be challenging enough and it may not be worth doing.

I did bully somebody. I was insecure.

I have this wholesome disposition in a lot of my characters. A certain earnestness.

As a fighter, you have a weight cut, and if there's a weigh-in scene you want to look way smaller and depleted. You want there to be a noticeable difference between that and the fight day. You don't drink water, except for tiny sips, and you're not really eating anything, except for a tiny slice of sweet potato every hour.

Heres the thing: If youre taking roles that arent intimidating you, and I think this is a cliche that a lot of actors say, but if its not intimidating you, then why are you doing it?
