“I say this hesitantly because I haven’t really started working on the role yet. I mean, I've already started, but right now it's like climbing Everest, so I'm standing at the bottom of the mountain and looking up, thinking, “Oh God, what did I say?” This is how I often feel when I say “yes.” I thought, “Oh God, how am I going to do this?” But in any case, it’s up to me to decide,” said the actor.
