I'm interested in generating work for myself. I have trouble with this waiting-for-the-phone-to-ring lifestyle, especially after drama school, which was so creatively fulfilling.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I want to create a body of work that is entertaining and speaks to people for a long time. Longer than my life span.
I would love to continue to challenge myself by trying different things. Action, Drama, Comedy. I would be grateful to do any and all of it if someone is kind enough to hire me!
I used to spend a lot of time alone as a kid, creating characters and doing voices in my room, and I thought to myself, I'm either going to go absolutely nuts, or I'm going to find something to put that energy into.
The best thing for my creative process is a deadline.
If you're an actor, even a successful one, you're still waiting for the phone to ring.
I turned down a lot of easier opportunities in order to go for the things that I really and ultimately wanted to do. And what's really nice is that it's starting to work. I've been an actor for coming up on 14 years now and the level of activity that's taking place now is a culmination of a slow cooker approach to as opposed to a microwave.
I don't write on demand - I wait for inspiration to come.
My sole inspiration is a telephone call from a director.
You can't wait and sit for the phone to ring, so I do theater.
My existence is about making movies, so I've just got to rock and roll with the punches. You want to make movies on telephones, I'm there.
