I've had a lazy career. Sometimes one film a year, sometimes none. I'm walking around in the street and doing this other thing, living, that I'm much more interested in. I just do some acting on the side.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
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.
When I don't have a movie, I don't take a job just for the sake of working. I just sit it out until I find something I'm passionate about.
A few years ago, when I had no work and started believing that films weren't a viable career, I thought of finding another job. I started training and riding horses and got consumed by that. It was a boon in disguise.
I've been acting for 25 years, living out of suitcases on theater tours or film locations.
I have a nice little movie career, and I write plays and do my act.
I've never cared for the idea of a career path, or where a film might 'take me.' My love is for acting not money, so I only take on roles that I find challenging, in stories I find interesting.
Whenever I'm doing any film, I'm always just happy to have a job and I always just put 110% of myself into it.
I did Broadway shows. And I started realizing that this is actually how I'm going to make my living. So maybe I should try to do television and film and make a better living and get an occasional residual check so I can pay a mortgage someday.
I have a very busy life, and not many people who have a career and four kids go out a lot to the movies.
I'm an actor that likes to go to work. I like going to work every day. I'm a worker by nature. I'm not someone who does one film a year and feels satisfied by that.
