We joke about it in the entertainment industry: Every actor wants to be a musician, and every musician wants to be an actor.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I've always thought that actors wanted to be pop musicians and pop musicians wanted to be actors.
Being an actor is a much more structured life than being a musician.
If a musician wants to be an actor, everyone thinks that's pretty cool. But if an actor wants to play a song, even if they've been doing it for 40 years, that's bad news.
Being an actor means being an instrument for someone else. I want to give myself completely.
I think actors are divided into two groups: one that wants to be an actor to become famous and rich, and the other that wants to be an actor because they have to be. I'm more in the second group.
Wanting to be an actor and wanting to be famous are different.
And I think that's why I was going to be a musician. I was very rebellious. And I didn't want to be an actor. My father used to say to me you should be an actor if you want to be in the arts.
Um, musicians are funnier you know, than actors on the whole.
You know, when you're an actor, you want to go to Hollywood. When you're a musician, you want to go to Nashville.
There's a lot of actors out there or people who want to be actors. It's unique to find somebody that, you know, needs to be an actor.
