'True Blood' excites me. It scares me, but it excites me.
What excites me? Had you asked me that question a few years ago, the answer would’ve rolled right off my tongue. Today, I think it's moving and uplifting my audience. Having them get it and go with it. That excites me.
Watching a really good movie excites me, because it makes we want to get up off the couch and go shoot something and act in a scene. And music excites me because it puts me in a mind state, whatever that may be.
What excites me and what I find most compelling is clearly not what excites other artists. It comes from my own idiosyncratic background and what I'm drawn to.

Our planet needs to be observed.

If I go to the National Gallery and I look at one of the great paintings that excite me there, it's not so much the painting that excites me as that the painting unlocks all kinds of valves of sensation within me which return me to life more violently.
There's nothing, today, that excites me, or that makes me think I would like to be back in AFL circles. I have no interest. No interest whatsoever. My love for the game died inside of me in those final years of me playing.
It excites me when a person puts their whole self in a song or rhyme, or instrument. It fills me.
I act because I have to, because I need to find out whether I can do it or not - that's what drives me and excites me and lights me up.
Storytelling excites me. Nothing gets me more juiced up than having an impact on people.
The challenge excites me. Being hesitant to approach or audition for things pushes me out of my comfort zone.
For me, what really excites me about my characters and what pushes their core is the kind of dark, sad side of life.
