Where I come from, being a hard man is being able to take a good beating and then get back up again and carry on fighting.
I have many good friends, but I tend to keep to myself anyway. It's odd, doing things and having no one to share them with.
I know that Wes Craven feels watching horror films does have a psychological effect, in a good way. It is very cathartic. He might be right about that.
Some people are filled by compassion and a desire to do good, and some simply don't think anything's going to make a difference.
I always thought I should base how good I am on how good I feel I am.
Ninety per cent of how you learn is watching great people. When you are surrounded by good actors it lifts your performance.
All creative people have to have vulnerability because those nuances are what move people. So I'm deeply insecure - but I'm good at hiding it.
To wanna be me is to go through not just the good but the bad. You wanna share my story identically? Man, you gonna take some lumps.
I mean I can do it when I'm very relaxed, and with good friends, then I think I can be amusing.
But I think there are more good young actors now than ever. It's a medium that everyone wants to be connected with - it is such a hip medium going into the 21st century.

Good guy' or 'bad guy', hero or anti hero; doesn't matter to me, what role I play, only the character have something magical.
I've said before that the common perception that all good actors should be good liars is exactly the opposite; only bad actors lie when they act.
Good directors can bring certain things out of you, with their intensity or gentleness or sensitivity or understanding. They can make an actor feel he can do no wrong.
I'm very drawn to characters who are very flawed. I'm less interested in characters who are just good or bad, because to me then they're not real people.
Hoods are good parts because they're always flashy and attract attention. If you've got any ability, you can use that as a stepping stone.
My parents always say I have really good legs. I've worked really hard for them. They always insist that I show my legs.
Years ago, I did a CBS audition. I was nervous. They introduced me as 'Scott Bakoola.' Not a good sign. I also didn't get the show.
I care about Bond and what happens to him. You cannot be connected with a character for this long and not have an interest. All the Bond films had their good points.
Confidence comes from within and as long as you are putting forth a respectable effort to take good care of yourself, you should feel confident about that path.
But this is a little different. This is the adult acting. This is a different crowd. It's more work and more good work. That's it. People will have their opinion regardless.
