I tend to think you're fearless when you recognize why you should be scared of things, but do them anyway.
As an actor, I don't feel like it's necessary to watch a great deal of films. In fact, I think it can lead to imitation and unhealthy competition, which just isn't needed.

The only thing that I'm obsessed with is sleeping, and actually, it is more than an obsession, it is a pleasure.
It was a great honor to be called a mo-fo by Sam Jackson.
If everyone really knew what a jerk I am in real life, I wouldn't be so adored in the slightest.
All of the muscles were gone, so that was a real tough time of rebuilding all of that. But you have a deadline, you have an obligation. You've said that you will commit to this part, and I just can't live with myself for not really giving it as much as I can.
