I like challenging parts, something I haven't done yet, something that scares me. There's just a feeling I get when I read a script that I love, I feel an attachment to it, a yearning to play that character.
What scares me? I kind of believe in ghosts. I believe they can wander around, so that scares me. But the stuff that really scares me are the catastrophic events like my husband or children or my family being harmed, or something like that.
Every role is challenging in its own way, but the most challenging roles are the ones that are badly written - then it's completely up to you to come up with something that is interesting to the story and myself as an actor.
Not becoming 'something' scares me the most. I just want to be remembered for something great.
I am a contradiction myself. I'm always looking for something that scares me because when I'm not scared, I'm not stimulated.
As an actor, I have to be fulfilled in the roles that I play; it has to be a journey for me to learn something or involve myself.
The one thing that scares me the most is failing. It scares me that one day I won't be at this level. But while I'm here and while I'm having success early, I'm trying to do everything to stay on this level.
Everything scares me. I'm very easily frightened. But the thing that scares me most is zombies. I really, really don't like zombies.
If I stay alert, then I can challenge myself, and by challenging myself, that helps me to stay alive and to hopefully take something away from the experience.
As I say, there's something that scares the hell out of me but it really makes me work hard in losing myself. I'm not really interested in me as an actor or being a personality player, or a Hollywood star. What's given to me is to become different people and to find the truth of that. That is really what I do.
I use myself as the barometer to gauge what is scary. I like to think if something scares me, then there's a very good chance an audience will feel the same way.
Work is exciting when it's challenging. It should be something that makes me afraid initially and prompts me to ask myself whether I'll be able to do it or not.
The one thing that scares me the most is failing. It scares me that one day I wont be at this level. But while Im here and while Im having success early, Im trying to do everything to stay on this level.
I feel very jealous towards women who can say, "I'm going to stay home and be a mom." I wish that's what fulfilled me but I like to work and I have to have something for myself.
For me, the most challenging thing was developing myself as a songwriter and as a performer and as the leader of a band. And I just did it.
The one who intimidates me is myself. I'm scared to fail. That is the thing that makes me the most afraid, to fail. Just to think that I can do a mistake and lose the fight scares me, so that is why I work out a lot: to bring more chance to my size and less chance to my opponent.
