To do a television show, one can be sort of spoiled. You get to have your own trailer, your own space - that sort of thing.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The beating heart of your story... that's not what shows up in a trailer. The other stuff is what shows up in a trailer, because that's what gets people in to the seats, and that's how studios make their money.
A film has a sort of life over time, whereas a TV show comes up in your living room, and it's immediate, and people write about it.
Well, TV series tie you up. You can't do films while you're doing a TV series.
I love the creative process, of getting to create your own show or your own movie, whatever it is you want to do, and have the resources to try and make that happen.
You basically do have a TV show when you're making stuff online. You have an audience that you make stuff for regularly.
I don't stay in my trailer. I like to sit in video village, probably to the annoyance of some producers and directors, because they really love to talk about actors, and they can't in front of me.
A film has a beginning, middle, and an end. There is a certain amount of time that you have to embody these people. You know the entire story arch. But on TV, you have to let your guard down. You don't know how long the show is going to last. There is this excitement that comes with developing a character long-term.
Doing a TV show, you're on an assembly line and it's as cut and dry as that. There are some shows that are exceptions. There are producers that want really special things.
I feel that, at this point in my career, I don't want to do another television show. I don't want to do a film.
I don't need a trailer; I don't need to have the luxuries of what is Hollywood, which is why I'm probably not so desperate to get there.
