I gotta make a living. I make no bones about that. Most actors do. But within that context, I've never not tried to make something as fresh and alive as I possibly could make it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It's your job as an actor to fill out the blanks. I love doing that. To fill in the bones.
I have to make my bones with Hollywood to get in. And when I do maybe I'll metamorphose from Mr. Muscles or whatever it is I am now and become an irascible tosser.
I have to keep working because, although I have land, I'm not cash rich and don't have the wealth of high-profile actresses - don't say I'm an 'actor.' That's a bit too modern.
You've only got a short shelf-life as an actor, and I want to make the most of it while I can.
I look at being an actress as being like a mummy: You're bandaged up and preserved as soon as you start making other people money.
I'm sure one reason I became an actor is my basic unwillingness to live one life.
I'm not one of these million-dollar actors. I have always been just a working actor. I probably work more than I would like to.
As an actor, all you want to do is to work and do good work.
If you say, 'You've made it,' then you kind of come to a standstill, and I don't think any actor wants to do that.
Most actors can't make any kind of living.
