The way I work emotionally is: I don't ever try to cry. I try not to, which is what for me produces organic emotion.

If I cry, it's because I'm very angry and I can't do anything about it because I've run into a dead end. That's when the tears would come down.

When I was younger, I thought I had to shut myself off, work really hard to cry. I learned after a while that that's just not... You know, often in life, you cry when you're caught off-guard. That's where I need to be when I'm acting, too.

I'm not a big 'cry on a shoulder' person. I'm very introverted when it comes to my own stuff.

I am not a victim of emotional conflicts. I am human.

So I don't cry anymore, I just beat people up. It's a lot more fun.

I was trained to be very tough. My mom told me I shouldn't cry; I shouldn't be afraid of anything.

I haven't got the kind of discipline where I can turn my emotion inside out and then just switch off. It affects me fairly profoundly and I don't like putting myself through that kind of mincer every day.

With me, even if my life depended on it, I wouldn't be able to cry. Not with somebody there. Because even if I'm talking about bad and upsetting things, if there is somebody else in the room, I am trying to entertain them. If there is somebody there, I am in performance mode. I can only cry if I am on my own.
