You deal with failure - strike, strike, strike - all the time. Acting is like that. You have to have a very thick skin in a way - your hair is too dark, you're too ugly for the part, your audition wasn't good.

When some people get parts, they feel they can now relax, but for me it was always the opposite. Sometimes before I do a movie or before I act out a scene, I may not sleep well the night before. If I don't know what the scene is about, I might get all worked up.

There have been some wars that been necessary in some ways. I think WWII was an important war. If the situation right now was like WWII, I'm sure you would be all for it. I believe in war but I'm not clear with what's going on now.
