Hugh Grant, who several times has announced that he was thinking of retiring from acting, has said that he suffers from panic attacks when the cameras start rolling.
Panic is efficient. Panic is effective. Panic is the way I get things done! Panic attacks are my booster rockets!
I spoke to friends that have panic attacks, and I spoke to a doctor who has panic attacks, himself. I also did a bit of research into them. It seemed like everyone's version of a panic attack had slightly different physical things. So, I decided to choose my own physical things.
I start sweating and shaking and having panic attacks if I am not at home.
Improvisation, for me, is when the cameras start rolling, we don't know where we're going and let's just waste people's time and money.
I had panic attacks during rehearsal. There were times when I really thought I wasn't going to be able to do it.
When I was immobilized by fear, I might have a panic attack. I've had a couple of panic attacks in my life.
As recently as 1979, neither panic attacks nor panic disorder officially existed.
Sometimes the character will go into a completely different direction than I expected once the cameras start rolling. That's what I love about what I do.
You don't know if the actors are going to have chemistry until you actually start filming. They can get along, they can be friends for years, they can be hilarious as people, but you don't know if it'll actually work until the cameras start rolling.
I'm up at the crack of dawn. If I'm filming, then I'll wake at 5 A.M. so that I can get on set and made up before the cameras start rolling.
With acting, you wanna see if you can get into trouble without knowing how you're gonna get out of it. It's like the exact opposite of war, where you need an exit strategy. When you're acting, you should get all the way into trouble with no exit strategy, and have the cameras rolling.
There is this miraculous thing I heard Hugh Grant talking about - the thing about screen acting is that you can read people's thoughts. You are trying to register something inside and usually the eyes in cinema are where you will register that.
I went to Columbia University because they were doing a study on people who suffered from panic attacks, and because I suffered from panic attacks my whole life, I decided to be a part of it. They had this questionnaire where they asked, How many units of alcohol do you have in a month? The top answer was 40 or more, and I got really scared because I was having on average 60 or 70 drinks a week. And I realized that that was a bad sign.
Sean Penn has announced his retirement from acting about 72 times.
I wanted to be an actor and I wanted to be a performer. Like Hugh [Grant] said earlier, we might all have this weird gene. Hopefully I will continue to have the talent to allow that gene to play itself out for as long as it can.
Hugh Grant is fantastic in bed. He always has been.
