Whether you're scared of getting into a relationship; or taking the new job; or a confrontation - you have to size fear up.
When I was 18 I was an emotional wreck and I couldn't imagine having to deal with some kind of fame.
My fans have designated themselves the, uh, 'Pine Nuts.' They're a nutty bunch.
With film, oftentimes you work in a vacuum and then you get on a high wire and then you try it and then the day's over and that piece of film exists somewhere in a vault for 1000,000 years and that's it.
I grew up in a house where my father went on auditions, and he got some and he lost some, and there were good years and lean years. I didn't expect anything from the business, and that's often a danger in Hollywood, the notion that if you're pretty and have white teeth and just show up for the game then you'll win.
I think it's not fair to the uniqueness and wonderfulness of the individuals, that we can complement one another greatly, but we are not the source of each other's happiness, especially if you don't know who the hell you're talking to.
I love the stories that have come before, that we know of. I think for me it's always more interesting to start from square one and you take the fundamental pillars of the character and, around that, try to create something new and different.
Generally speaking, the more money that's involved in anything, the more people are expecting and hoping that it's not going to fail.
I do like dating cynics - they tend to be incredibly funny.
I performed and sang at school but as a child it was never anything I was interested in doing professionally.
Not a fan of spiders. I saw the movie 'Arachnophobia,' which was single-handedly rated in the top three worst choices of my life.
I find it really hard to even read another script while shooting.
I had a job at this French restaurant, and I hated it. I don't like serving; I don't like getting people ketchup.
I think the first thing that I saw on IMAX was 'The Avengers.' The scope and the size of it are pretty neat, I will say that.
