But with the right kind of coaching and determination you can accomplish anything and the biggest accomplishment that I feel I got from the film was overcoming that fear.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Probably the biggest challenge for me as a director was to not show how scared I was. I was surrounded by some of the most talented people in the industry, and I had to pretend I knew what I was doing.
I was kind of scared of failing at acting.
Just remember, you can do anything you set your mind to, but it takes action, perseverance, and facing your fears.
I figured, if I failed, I'd tried something that I hadn't tried before and if one movie was going to destroy my career than I didn't have much of a career to start with. I just went for it. God willing I wasn't over the top and didn't embarrass myself.
Fear can be conquered. I became a better person and a better football player when I learned that lesson.
I've always had a problem showing fear on a film.
I've played so many jobs where I'm fearless, but it's far from me. I wish I were like that in real life.
One of the things I've learned over the years is that you only do what you can do as an actor. You do the best job you can, but you have no control over so many elements that are going to determine the outcome of that film. I never pay attention to what happens after.
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 don't feel that fear is a good incentive on a film set.
