Another curious realisation came when I discovered that I used the first-person plural too much in my everyday speech.
Another big realisation I made through having children is the importance of being tuned to my instincts, and being brave and bold enough to go with them.
What frightens Dornan is the same thing that has frightened all actors, I'm sure, at one point or another: the realisation that we all contain the bigot, the thug, the zealot, the killer; that these feelings bubble away surprisingly close to the surface of civility.
