Making films is no longer a way of acting, it is a way of life.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think what Hollywood has done for so long, is make movies for themselves.
I think as an actor you're lucky to have any film take on a life of its own long after it's left the theater.
Acting is a bit of a substitute for life.
Making films has never just been a job to me; it is my life. I have some interests outside of acting - I sing and I've written books, for instance - but acting is what keeps me going: it's what I do; it gives life purpose.
There's more to life than movies.
I've always been in the middle of making my own movies, so taking acting jobs that take me away from that has been impossible.
That is why it's so fun to make movies... you get to do lots of things you would never do in your normal life.
There's always gonna be people with a lot of money making film, and the goal is to make profit and carry on. It is a business. The goal is to make a living doing it and to be comfortable.
Personally speaking there's only so long you can go from film to film to film. There's an inspiration an actor gets from the stage.
There's no point in making a movie just to be making a movie.
