I never talk about a job before the contract is signed and I've shot the first three days.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I've shot a lot of pilots that have never seen the light of day, jobs that have fallen apart or gotten canceled, so I'm really weary about what contracts I sign and where I swear my loyalty to.
I feel like, once you're doing a job, you shouldn't talk about it.
When I wrap a job, I disconnect with it, and I'm done, even if they said we'd shoot more next year, at this time, which is not the case at all because nobody knows what's happening.
I've never been fired in my life.
I've never, ever had a job that lasted for more than a few months.
So already, you go from not having a job and thinking you're going to get fired after the pilot, to knowing that you've got a guaranteed job for 4 years.
I never had a month or so go by where I haven't had a job, but you always worry that someone will turn off the tap.
I could never hold a job for more than three months, which works out well because that's how long a movie shoots.
In the very few interviews I've made, it doesn't matter how long we've talked to each other, the headline is still just about my paycheck.
I went over to shoot for six days. It turned out to be ten days, very nicely so. A little money.
