My idea is just to do something different each time; the next thing I do has to be completely different to the thing I've done before - that's what I try and do, because you know, I'm an actor, not a film star.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I've just gotten to do a lot of very different things, and as an actor, that's what you want.
With every movie, I try to do something different, whether it's action, comedy or drama.
When you're an actor, actually, you shouldn't come up with too many ideas.
As an actor, I don't want to do something which I have already done before.
As an actor, I have tried to do new things, and that's why I have done few films.
As I get on and films take four years to complete, I tend to have a hankering for very short projects so you can move on to the next idea. It's the ideas I'm interested in. What comes out of your head.
When you do what I've done - the normal Hollywood way, where you let people do things for you - and then you make certain choices where you have to learn to do it for yourself, which is how you should do it, it caused me to get way behind in stuff. I wouldn't change a thing because it's been a very important learning thing.
I always wanted to do something different with each film. So I guess that means that I wanted to not repeat myself. There has to be some kind of a new element in each project that I take up.
Hopefully I've gotten better as an actor as the years have gone on, but the type of work I want to do has never changed.
I got a manager, and I thought, since I was going out on auditions, I should do this for a living. Then there was this moment on set when I realized I was having a lot of fun, and I really wanted to do this forever. I want to do different stuff, but I want it all to be just as good as this film. I want to be consistent.
