But in fantasy, you can make a complete break, and you can put people in a situation where they are confronted with things that they would not confront in the real world.

I can become very emotional about math, although I'm not that good at it.

I regarded drugs as somewhat like rattlesnakes - it's possible to pick one up without getting bit, but why bother?

When I do my makeup, it kind of helps me get into the character that I'm trying to portray.

Some politicians that I've seen have been brilliant with the public. They almost speak with the skill of an actor.

Another thing that freaks me out is time. Time is like a book. You have a beginning, a middle and an end. It's just a cycle.
