"There is a popular notion that great actors have to be brave and willing to suffer. And while that's true, strangely I find the harder thing is to be brave enough to be simple, to stop when you've done it.

That is more frightening than anything. The scenes where it's required that you turn your guts inside out and just bleed publicly are not anywhere near as difficult as the simple moments. Those take more bravery, I think, than the gut-wrenching screams or the crying."
