They all matter to me, whether I'm working on a Sam Jackson film for a week or I'm the star of my own TV series - I take it all very seriously, and I have a healthy respect for the work in general, despite the role.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Quentin Tarantino and Sam Jackson are the reasons I'm an actor.
When you look at someone good like J.J. Abrams who gives you the spectacle and great action set pieces but also gives you character and great story and plotting and narrative, I think it's my job - and my intention - to do both.
As a professional actor, I don't have much choice about what I've gotten into. I tend to be cast in comedies and I'm fine with that.
I feel like my responsibility as an actor is to make characters as compelling and believable as possible.
I think part of the fun of being an actor is getting to work with different directors and seeing their take on it, what they're passionate about. They all have different ideas about your character.
I'm a working actor, so I do pretty much whatever comes along because it's my job.
When I do film, I really take on roles and I take on characters.
It's a question of why they come for your advice. Whatever I tell you, it doesn't matter, it is completely irrelevant in a way. I know so many actors who were discouraged and put that aside. You will get half-baked opinions.
I think people respect my work, but I was never in one of those movies that made me a star.
When I'm directing a movie, nothing else matters.
