Personally, I like films that make me a little bit uncomfortable because I think you're uncomfortable when something is real.

Movies should make people uncomfortable sometimes.

I think actors get too comfortable. I like being uncomfortable as an actor because it keeps you alive. I don't know, I think it's important.

It's a funny thing: You want so badly for people to see what you do - you're proud of it - and I like the effect that movies have on people. But the attention can also make me uncomfortable.

There's such an immediate intimacy with film that you just don't get in theater.

I'm so uncomfortable, especially in emotional situations, having to say sentences that don't feel right. As an actor - or really, as any kind of person sensitive to it.

In movies, you get to explore parts of yourself that in real life, people shy away from, like looking stupid or embarrassing yourself or getting too angry, anything inappropriate. As an actor, you walk into those moments.

Usually when I am in a movie that is about to come out, if people don't love it, that is fine - I can handle it.

To me, discomfort is a gift in the films that I'm making.

I want to be uncomfortable - acting is uncomfortable.
