Aaron Taylor-Johnson says he constantly thinks about quitting acting and focus on raising his kids.
The 26-year-old actor, who has daughters Wylda, six, and Romy, four, with his wife Sam, says he gets "more fulfilment" from fatherhood than he does from starring in movies, reported Contactmusic.
"I get more fulfilment from being a father than I do from being an actor. I'm still constantly wanting to give it up," Johnson says.
The "Nocturnal Animals" star, who won the best supporting actor in a motion picture gong at this year's Golden Globe Awards, says he struggles to deal with the fame.
"I'm not ungrateful, nor is this spiteful. It's just that I can't handle all the attention. I like my world to be calm.
"When you deal with this lifestyle (it can drive you crazy). That's why I see half of my friends go off the rails. You can really burn it at both ends, get into drink and drugs.
