Courage is being scared to death... and saddling up anyway.
I love horror. I love 'The Shining,' 'Friday the 13th,' 'Halloween,' all those kinds of things. I love zombies, especially '28 Days Later' and '28 Weeks Later,' where the zombies are going faster than the George Romero ones. I love being scared; there's something that's awesome about your heart rate going up like that.
I've always been the guy that loved being scared or loved having pressure on me, because I always wanted to prove myself wrong and always wanted to prove that I could do it.
If you stop being scared, that's when entropy sets in, and you may as well go home.
I guess the reason that I'm a horror fan is that I think it gives people the opportunity to enjoy the feeling of being scared in a safe environment. I think that's why, for all of human history, we've been telling each other scary stories: because it exorcises something that we need to exorcise in a safe place.
The hardest job an actor can do is all this pretend, all this screaming and being scared for your life.
No real fairytale scared me, but Freddy Krueger did. 'Nightmare on Elm Street' scared the living hell out of me, but no fairytale. Maybe 'Hansel and Gretel' a little bit when they were walking through the forest and they met the witch. But I liked being scared, I really enjoy being scared.
When I was younger, I used to be super, super shy. I still find myself being scared of things.
I think it's good to be a little more fearless in saying what you feel. In not being scared of the repercussions of that.
I went to a haunted house once, and I don't do well in situations like that, and I've lived my entire life not being scared or anything.
