The emotional stuff is the biggest challenge, for me to access that. As life passes, you encounter difficulties and tragedies, and so it becomes easier. 'Carnivale' required that of me, and it was really hard.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Usually what is difficult for me are things that make me feel scared. That's when difficulties rather than challenges arise.
As you get older, challenges arise that you aren't prepared for, but what got me through it was music.
I love emotional, intense stuff; it's easier to grab onto than just being simple. Being simple and relaxed can be the hardest thing. It can be easier to get your hooks into something big.
My childhood had its challenges, like everyone's. It imbued me with certain things and took away others. It made me very determined.
The hardest part of it was really being away from my family - I have two small children. Last year I took over 20 business trips, so being away from them was hard.
It turned out to be exactly that, but more challenging emotionally. I looked at it in a more physical way, having to act in a chair and move around. But it really was more emotionally challenging.
The challenge in my life really is keeping the balance between feeling creatively energized and fulfilled without feeling overwhelmed and like I'm in the middle of a battlefield.
The transition was difficult. It's hard to stop something that you've enjoyed and that has been very rewarding.
It's fun to get really intense and emotionally detailed and complicated.
I love doing emotional scenes. As I've had a perfect life, I don't really have much to pull from. But it's really fun and not that challenging. It's almost pretty easy. The hardest thing is to try and make people laugh. That's a really hard thing.
