A sociopath can imitate emotions, where a psychopath really doesn’t have that capacity. They can’t fool people into thinking anything and they’re usually lacking major empathy for anybody besides themselves.

Thinking

For some roles, like when I was doing Bent, that was harder and I didn’t find that helpful because I was so calorie deprived, my brain wasn’t getting food. I would end up not being as focused or as clearheaded as I would have liked to be during the run of the performances. I would lose those quality impulses that you lean on when you’re acting because of malnutrition. basically. But I looked skinny.

I had heard that Tom [Cruise] was the same way, that he is incredibly dedicated. I was very excited to meet him and I was, honest to God, weirdly surprised that the guy makes me look lazy. I think he does think I’m a hard worker, but he makes me look like I’m doing nothing. The guy is at the gym before anybody in the morning.

I had just come off of doing a play in Los Angeles which actually got me the role. It was called Bent and it was at the Mark Taper Forum. I was playing a homosexual in 1930 to 1934 Berlin who is eventually put into a concentration camp for the second half of the play. I had lost about 38 pounds for that.

I only had a three-week break from the beginning of Bent, so I went from one thing to the next. I got back [from shooting Jack Reacher] and there was a sense of, “Oh my God, what do I do now?” I don’t have personal trainers around me all the time, I’m not on a meal plan, which I had been on for almost a year straight. There was a lot of sleeping.

I read as many books about the psychology of a psychopath as I could and I researched what exactly happens to soldiers.
