So if I keep making mistakes on Broadway or tape or film, producing, directing or acting, I can go along and do it - so long as I'm not investing too much capital in these things.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I can be a horrible actor, but I make a move that makes a money I'm secured a job.
I'd like to make mistakes on my own dime and not have a herd of people tell me what I'm doing wrong. and I'm also still trying to find and develop my voice as a filmmaker, and I think that's easier to do on your own terms than trying to satisfy a bunch of people that are paying for the movie.
I am a theatre actor, but the last ten years I've taken parts in movies because it keeps me in money.
Music is a hobby, because I'm not making any money out of it, but I put just as much conviction into that as I do into my acting.
I started out as an actor but now I act to fund my own productions. I've managed to separate my mindset.
Also, if you're in a TV show that does turn out to be very successful, you then can do whatever you want to do in theater for a very long time.
I got into this business because I like acting and I want to make movies. I would be happy living the rest of my life never famous.
I've made 30 movies and for the most part my movies work. In a business where success is an exception and not the rule, I've mostly been successful.
There's no real excuse for being successful enough as an actor to do what you want and then selling out. You do it pure. You don't try to adapt it, make it commercial.
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.
