It's like why people read scary books or go see scary movies. Because it creates a distance. They're scared, but they're not going to get hurt.

I took a route of acting, rather than starmaking, so it cost me a lot financially.

All of us are trying to achieve 100 percent in our work. That's all we struggle to do. We never do, but we never stop trying until the day we die. It's that struggle to achieve 100 percent, that's where our performance lies, that's what the audience gets. They get the struggle.

When I was younger, it was about doing something that made me nervous. Now, it's for many different reasons. I've had the opportunity to have fun. I don't know why that is, but I like it.

The only thing I do worry about is that the more films I do the more visible I am going to become as a personality because of press and because of the sheer quantity of films.

I've never tried to be something I'm not.

To me the definition of true masculinity - and femininity, too - is being able to lay in your own skin comfortably.
