A line from one of my 1997 columns - 'Do one thing every day that scares you' - is now widely attributed to Eleanor Roosevelt, though I have yet to see any evidence that she ever said it and I don't believe she did. She said some things about fear, but not that thing.

I don't like improv at all. It terrifies me. I like to know exactly what I'm going to say. Being surprised does make me a better actor. Anytime I'm afraid of something that makes me rise to the occasion, it scares me, but it's what makes great actors - being in the moment.
I haven't seen 'The Exorcist,' but I've seen a lot of pictures of the girl in it. So now I don't actually want to see it. She scares me so much. I don't know what it is, but even though it's quite old now, it still has the best and scariest make-up I've ever seen in my life.
I surrender to my directors. I do that because I respect them immensely. In fact, a director's talent scares me. I admit that they're more intelligent than me, and I submit to that, as an assistant director does. Even when I have suggestions to make, I don't state them strongly.
The one who intimidates me is myself. I'm scared to fail. That is the thing that makes me the most afraid, to fail. Just to think that I can do a mistake and lose the fight scares me, so that is why I work out a lot: to bring more chance to my size and less chance to my opponent.

There's a clean simplicity to the plotting of 'Sinister,' whether you like it or not. And the scares are deliberate and even heavy-handed in a way.

I know if I don't look after myself, I will be talking to you in a couple of years' time mumbling my words and slurring.

I often hear actors say during their interviews: 'I want to play a crazy person, a murderer, or someone who's on edge.' But that question scares me.

When 'The Walking Dead' has been its best, all that stuff is happening at once: the emotion, action, horror, scares.

That's one of the proudest things I've ever done.
The older I get, for me it's about fear. If I read something and it scares the hell out of me, that's what I want to do.

I don't work very much because I'm very specific about what I want to do.
It's something that I love about this business and that scares me about this business, but in a good way. You just never know what's going to happen. And things change constantly.

When you drive a car, either you manage it and feel it with the grip of the car, or, like me, you fix it on visual speed.

I do it visually, so if I am going too fast I fight to get the car back, but I do not do it by feeling the grip.
To me, the scariest movie ever made to this day is 'The Exorcist.' It still scares the living hell out of me, and it's because of the fantasy element. It's the exorcism. It's the Devil.
