Actor Naomi Watts (right) says she gets nervous after landing a major role and tries to get out of commitment before the shooting starts. “I’m always nervous in the lead-up. The anticipation of a project... I’m always trying to pull out of it. Right up until (the last minute)... Trying to get them to re-cast,” the 44-year-old was quoted as saying.

However, she says she has realised that it’s just her habit. “I’m always calling the director and saying, ‘I don’t think I can do it. There’s got to be someone else who is more right for this.’ I know myself well enough now to know that it’s just my habit,” she added.
