The hardest pill for me to swallow has been receiving recognition, getting dressed up, going to events. That's the part that has always terrified me.

Because we put ourselves in a movie or on TV, then it must mean we want to be completely open to the world. Sometimes, people will run up to you as if this is Disneyland and I'm a character. I understand their point of view, but it's difficult to explain how terrified it makes me. I'm so nervous.

Those types of questions can pop up in all sorts of different types of films - drama, comedy, action movie.
