I no longer look at my life and times in the motion picture industry as my career. I just look at it now as something I like and want to do.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I feel like a lot of my past career was going to film school, making a lot of different kinds of movies. I made a bunch of comedies, I made one drama and I made a couple musicals.
I kind of look at my modeling career and the Hitchcock years as stepping stones to what I'm doing now.
What people see is just your career graph and the films you do. But that's a very small aspect of my life.
I use the film industry as a pleasure for work and that kind of thing and it's not a pursuit to make me feel happy in my life.
I started missing acting when I was in school, and I realized after being in the business after however many years that I was really interested in film.
I'm meant to be an animation director. That world, and the culture of stop-motion, is where I want to live. It's more my problem than Hollywood's. I'm not attuned to Hollywood.
I associate my motion picture career more with being unhappy and scared, or being under the gun, than with anything pleasant.
The luxury that I have is I'm not career-minded, I just live from one film to the next. For a time, I was making documentaries, and all my documentaries were winning awards and stuff, and then I lost interest in documentaries.
When I was new, I didn't know where my career will go. Initially, my films were not even successful, but then I learned a lot from my mistakes.
I grew up in this industry. I'm a third generation actor, and I believe strongly that life and career are two different things. Career is inside my life. I'm also a photographer, a pianist, and lots of different things, so my life consists of so many different elements that there are moments when I have to step away and be me.
