After Hollywood, you know if people are interested in you or in the fact that you've been in a movie. You know who your real friends are.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I want people to know me through the movies I do. I want to be judged on that. If you start becoming famous for your personal life, that's when your career goes away.
Some movies you fall a step behind, and some you stay in the same place, make the same choices. And then sometimes there are people who know more than you but show you, and that's the maximum you can hope for - doing that with someone who says, 'I like you for what you are, and I want you to be in my picture.'
I honestly don't have a lot of friends that are actors. Most of my friends I've known since sixth grade and are out of the industry. It gives me a sense of reality rather than surrounding myself with a bunch of actors.
Hollywood is like living in a weird bubble. A bunch of people take care of you and get you stuff, and you're the center of that little microcosmic world. You start believing that it is real and... you deserve it.
Being an actor in movies is a lot about the power of your imagination and making the circumstance real to you so the audience will feel that it's real.
I'm a very private person, a very bookish person. The social world of Hollywood I know nothing about because I choose not to take part.
And that if you become a star, people are going to go to see you. If you remain an actor, they're going to go and see the story you're in.
I don't know how Hollywood sees me.
People just assume that if you're famous, you're in Hollywood.
Hollywood 'friends' are only after one thing. They're looking out for the next big thing, and they don't want to miss out on you just in case.
