American men, as a group, seem to be interested in only two things, money and breasts. It seems a very narrow outlook.
I'm terrified of bugs and I travel with sprays, lotions, potions; the lot. I have to check the room before I go to sleep and if I come across a bug and fail to remove it I have to sleep in a separate room as I'm paranoid that I'll be taken advantage of as I sleep.
For me and for I'm sure any actor, each role is a different challenge to prepare for in a different way.
