You have to find it in the moment and thats one of the challenges of being an actor – especially a film actor – is that you have to maintain these heightened emotions for long periods of time. Theres no trick to it. You just have to do.
You always take a little bit back with you at the end of the day. I always put a little bit of myself into the characters too. You find parallels points of connection things like that. But Im not an actor who gets so incredibly haunted by my characters that I cant come back.

I consider myself a blue-collar actor just chugging away.
My life has been the antithesis of that book The Secret. Ive always been interested in doing what I do. I love storytelling and I really enjoyed acting but it never seemed like a realistic thing.
