Being a movie star, and this applies to all of them, means being looked at from every possible direction. You are never left at peace, you're just fair game.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The point of being a movie star is that people cast you in a role. Actors tie themselves in knots trying to get out of that.
I think being a movie star is about whether an audience can watch you and care about you.
When you're a movie star and you're young, you are always playing someone who's a better fighter, a better lover, a better everything than you.
Being a movie star isn't easy. It requires a lot of commitment and sacrifice. Your career goes through extreme ups and downs. You are judged all the time. Great things are written about you, but at the same time, not-so-good things are also said. At times, things are said about you that are completely untrue, and people mostly try to pull you down.
You are defined by who you are, by your choices in life, in all regards, not just in doing movies.
I don't allow Hollywood to define my joy, my happiness, and my peace because you'll be screwed. You have to be very careful.
Sometimes, I feel the reason I have become a star beyond my films is that I am politically incorrect.
One day, you're a nobody, and the next, you're in a movie that everybody is talking about. But Hollywood has a way of knocking you back down to Earth.
No matter how successful you get in Hollywood, you cannot rest. Your new movie doesn't open well; they're looking for the next person to replace you; it's always something. You never have true peace.
When I go to a film, you're taking it easy and you let things wash over you. That's what cinema's all about. You get involved in a world that's being created in front of you.
