AARON STANFORDActors, we like stories, we like storytelling, we love being a part of the story, and if you give us a story that’s interesting then we’ll want to do it.
AARON STANFORDYou always take a little bit back with you at the end of the day. I always put a little bit of myself into the characters, too.
AARON STANFORDI didn’t follow the whole ‘X-Men’ story because it got too complicated. I’d pick up a comic book and have no idea what was going on.
AARON STANFORDI consider myself a blue-collar actor, just chugging away.
AARON STANFORDYou find parallels, points of connection, things like that. But I’m not an actor who gets so incredibly haunted by my characters that I can’t come back.

AARON STANFORDYou have to find it in the moment, and that’s one of the challenges of being an actor – especially a film actor – is that you have to maintain these heightened emotions for long periods of time. There’s no trick to it. You just have to do.
AARON STANFORDPeople love roller coasters. People love skydiving. These things that really get your heart pumping, and horror films are sort of a safe way to get that rush I guess.
