I'm not interested in going after a part. I think if someone wants me for a part and approaches me then I'll take it on a case-by-case basis and see what that part is.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm only really interested in taking a part if it's nothing like me.
I don't think I ever got parts that interested me. Well, I did occasionally, but more often than not, they did not interest me.
There's only so much you can do of trying, finding yourself very close to getting a part and then not getting it.
Approaching a part or thinking about taking a part, I never think, 'Is that person like me?'
The way I choose parts is I look at the scripts... I choose a part by whether or not it challenges me.
I think I felt compelled in a way because if I hadn't written the part, I never would have been offered the part. There are at least 10 guys who would have been offered the part before me.
If I get rejected for a part, I pick myself up and say, 'OK, not today, maybe tomorrow I'll get this other part or something.'
I tremendously enjoy getting involved in a troubled situation and straightening it out... My interest would be if there was a situation that came up, and I thought I could do something with and the price was right, I would be interested.
In short I will part with anything for you but you.
If a part terrifies me, that is definitely a reason to do it.
