My very worst day on 'Green Lantern' was nowhere near as difficult as my finest day on 'Buried.'
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I always liked 'Green Lantern,' but I wasn't necessarily a diehard fan. I read stories here and there when I came across them.
Of course some days are easier than others, but my worst day is better than being in most humdrum occupations.
My worst days are still pretty good days. That's something I might lose in the moment sometimes, but I have a pretty good grasp of it.
It's much easier to make a Superman or Batman film than a Green Lantern film.
'Green Lantern' I screen-tested for twice. I fought for the role. And I'm glad I did, because I felt like I earned it.
The worst days are when you feel foggy in the head - chemo-brain they call it. It's awful because you feel boring. As well as bored. And stupid. And resigned.
It's never easy with characters in these dark and grave circumstances but that's my job.
I did a film once that I was killed in. It was a painful, horrifying day. It was a wonderful day from the standpoint of acting, but I was a wreck otherwise.
'The Green Lantern' seems a little calculated to me. It's like, 'We've got to get on this gay bandwagon and make this character gay.' Like anything else, there's earnest expressions in the culture and then there's kind of bandwagoning.
It was the roughest day of my career, my final day of shooting on 'Breaking Bad,' knowing that I will never be able to kind of zip on that skin again.
