I would certainly choose my jobs depending on the actions of the character. I won't do anything that has to do with child abuse or women's abuse.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If I was to do anything besides acting, I would be a fireman or a beat cop. I'd do a regular job.
My job is to focus on bringing characters to life in an honest and personal way.
My job is to allow the character to live and breathe - and become as real to the reader as he or she is to me.
I find I have to respond to a character or a story to choose a job.
First of all, I choose the great roles, and if none of these come, I choose the mediocre ones, and if they don't come, I choose the ones that pay the rent.
Up to that point I never really knew what my character would be expected to do, and prior to accepting the job I had actually turned down the role three times before finally giving in.
The whole point of taking a job is that you connect with a character or with an issue.
I don't have one role that I'm particularly fond of doing, and I don't really look for it to differ all the time, but I will try anything and do anything. If it's a role I connect with, I'll go for it, no matter what's involved.
If I had to choose between a great acting job and a good directing job, I'd choose the directing job.
I have no specific ideas in mind of what I will or won't do; it's all about the roles.
