I would love to have a career that's governed by the material; I always want to be part of stories that I feel are worthwhile.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Most of all, I love being a storyteller. And yes, I want to make a good living, but I'm not always driven by the best commercial sense.
I always wanted to be a writer! But I wanted to do other things, too - be a psychologist, a librarian, et cetera. Now I've decided that reading fiction that features characters who are in those professions will do.
I want to have a lengthy career. I want to play interesting characters. I want to tell beautiful stories, complex stories, deep stories.
Ultimately, I want to have a good career and do interesting work.
I'd like, each time out as a writer, to reinvent who I am and what I'm doing. That's one of the great pleasures and rewards of the occupation.
I'm always interested in storytelling and whatever form that comes in.
I love storytelling so for me to get behind a story and get in there early in its infancy and kind of develop it in the early stages was something I really wanted to be a part of.
I've never looked at my career in terms of, What haven't I done that I want to do? I just generally find a story that I think is a good one and go to work.
I'm just looking as always for something that's stimulating and I hope to find a good story that's a challenge, whether it's big or small. Or that it finds me. I don't have like a career plan. Maybe I should, but I don't.
Whether it's acting, directing or writing, I want to be involved in the film industry for the rest of my life.
