Usually my form of turning someone down was shoving a stake through his heart while smirking, Gotcha!
'American Horror' in particular is a really crazy show. We have crazy crap happening to us on that show.
Acting is playing pretend, playing a children's game at an adult level, but with children's rules. It's fun to play bad guys. I've never been in a fight in my life, so it's fun to play something that's different.
Given what I do to my characters, I'm not sure I'd want to meet any of them.
Television is full of fictional and real violence that's turned into entertainment.
If they do something like that, maybe a Freddy Krueger fan, a girl, a really sick goth girl starts killing kids herself and Freddy has to put a stop to it, or they have to fight it out.
We see a lot of gory deaths on 'Game of Thrones.'
Most people are dispensable in 'Game of Thrones,' not only in the story but in the series.
Call me crazy, but there's just something cheering about seeing huge raptors tear into Eraser flesh.
I always feel that there's no violence in a movie - it's not real, it's a magic trick. Nobody is really dying. In fact, the people that die in my movies have gone on to become extremely successful!
I'm not a big gore hound but monster gore is different to me than killing a teenager in any way that you can when another human-like person does it. I don't know how I rationalize that really but it seems different to me.
Number one, as an audience member, I tend to like violent movies and TV shows because it's not real.
Television is full of fictional and real violence that's turned into entertainment. It's an interesting phenomena and I tried to put it in perspective and tried to think through a few of the real questions that this sometimes unseemly business raises.
My dream role would probably be a psycho killer, because the whole thing I love about movies is that you get to do things you could never do in real life, and that would be my way of vicariously experiencing being a psycho killer. Also, it's incredibly romantic.
I would never ever condone any violence of any kind. But in the theater of fiction, blood is delightful.
