Very often Dafoe's love for someone is expressed by his wish to help him, do something tangible to benefit him or serve him in some way.

It is also difficult for him to receive warmth, affection or appreciation, for he often feels that he does not really deserve it or that "they do not really mean it". Dafoe may therefore come across as rather cool and aloof - much more so than he feels.
