I internalize everything, keep everything inside. I'm not used to spilling my guts, and when you have to do that on film to make a point, it's hard. It's rough. I don't think it's as easy as people think.

Nothing can motivate me any more than I'm already motivated. It just can't happen. Me being motivated was never a factor. Never.
