A Quote by Jeffrey Dean Morgan

I've always had a problem showing fear on a film. — © Jeffrey Dean Morgan
I've always had a problem showing fear on a film.
Well, the film initially - we had decided to pair joy with fear because I don't know about you - for me fear was a major motivator in junior high. So we thought there's probably some good stuff there... As the film went on, we had developed all these great scenes that were really funny, but in the third act, it wasn't adding up to anything.
I have no issues if audiences don't like a film or a performance, and the film doesn't do well. My problem is when they say that the film was good and performances were excellent, but the film didn't run. I have a problem when that happens.
And it sort of hit me that the very subject matter of the film that I'm dealing with is the key to the most important thing in our lives, and that's our relationships. And so we had done all this research showing the job of each individual emotion, you know, fear keeps you safe. It deals with uncertainty.
I've always had a problem saying what I feel for fear of having someone dislike me.
Showing weakness and showing fear and letting people in was a huge part of my comeback.
I always had a problem with original sin; I always had a problem with the exclusivity of the church and a lot of the things that the nuns taught me.
The problem's always been to deal with the fear.Cos the fear is pretty . . . it ruins everybody really.
I thought of all the others who had tried to tie her to the ground and failed. So I resisted showing her the songs and poems I had written, knowing that too much truth can ruin a thing. And if that meant she wasn't entirely mine, what of it? I would be the one she could always return to without fear of recrimination or question. So I did not try to win her and contented myself with playing a beautiful game. But there was always a part of me that hoped for more, and so there was a part of me that was always a fool.
What I did was I completed the half-hour film, but before really showing it, I wrote two more sections for a potential feature film which I didn't think would really happen, but at least I had it in case.
People always want to ask me about my drug problem - I never had a drug problem; I had a self-esteem problem!
Fear tends to come from ignorance. Once I knew what the problem was, it was just a problem, nothing to fear.
The problem is we never had a separate music industry, we always had film music industry. The west has it and that's why musicians are stars and icons there.
Stage fright is my worst problem. A voice is very intimate. It's something of your own. So there's always this fear, because you feel naked. There's a fear of not reaching up to expectations.
I think I'm generally - fear, fear is very still, so in terms of that kind of fear - there's so many different kinds of fear, but fear is something, particularly in movies, that's interesting, because it's created by the film maker, that was created by David Fincher, that's why he's brilliant.
People really had a problem with my disinterest in submission. They had a problem with my intellect, and they had a problem with my choice of lovers. They had a problem with my choice of everything.
Fear is a problem with film music and films; people want to be conventional, and there's more commercialism today. If you are not daring in your art, you're bankrupt.
