My only obligation is to keep myself and other people guessing.
Personally speaking there's only so long you can go from film to film to film. There's an inspiration an actor gets from the stage.
When you step back and watch people, you realize that we use every single body part. Movement, dance - I find it genius because it's ultimate expression, really.
You heard it from the heart, you saw it in their eyes. Then I got used to the fact that I couldn't feel my fingers and my feet. That for me was the essence of the battle.
