I think all actors get scared because we're frightened to disappoint.

If I see an actor in a role that is really terrifying, no matter how many times I meet him socially, I'm still frightened of him. I think he's going to hit me.

In a weird way, that's the beauty of being an actor. You get to live out things that you're afraid of, and you get to say, 'Well, maybe I can get to the end of it and survive it intact and I can be the hero of my own story.' It's kind of a way of exorcising fear.

I'm a big fan of being scared I like being scared. I like being involved in a film that will make audiences scared, that intrigues me.

The only fear I have is that I will wake up one day and nobody will allow me to do films. This is a fear every actor has.

I fear other actors who are not prepared. And I fear directors who are afraid.

It doesn't behoove you as an actor to sit around and worry.

I'm scared of actors with a scheme.

Acting scares me.

I think part of what acting did for me is it kind of represents all my greatest fears. I'm sort of compelled to do it, but at the same time, it's so frightening. But I think that the things that frighten me the most in life are the things I should be doing.
