Sometimes, on a personal level, I wince.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I really try to put myself in uncomfortable situations. Complacency is my enemy.
Everybody has those stories that make them wince when they think about them silently. But as soon as you tell that story, it becomes a little bit less cringe-inducing.
Sometimes I frown and I don't realise it.
I cringe when I watch myself on TV.
The only thing I can't stand is discomfort.
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.
I don't seek discomfort. But, very often, you realise that what you fear is actually quite ephemeral; something's different, something's unfamiliar; therefore, it must be worse.
To me, discomfort is a gift in the films that I'm making.
People wince when something is in bad taste. They laugh when it's funny. If it's too dirty or wrong, they won't laugh. But if it's a big, dirty, smart, funny laugh, they love it.
I'm very comfortable with uncomfortable situations, and I think that can seem odd to people, that I like the thrill of discomfort.
