All that running around in my underwear put money in my pockets. I can focus on working in interesting movies without having to worry about supporting myself.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I love the feeling of having as close to a steady job as you can ever have as an actor. I'm not an extravagant spender, so when I work on a TV show for a season or do a bunch of episodes as a reoccurring, I try to spread the money that comes from that out so that I can do these movies that are important to me.
I am a theatre actor, but the last ten years I've taken parts in movies because it keeps me in money.
When I don't have a movie, I don't take a job just for the sake of working. I just sit it out until I find something I'm passionate about.
See, I'm fortunate that I get around a lot because of my movie business.
I just can't get excited about money as a motivation in a film. It leaves me cold.
I don't read anything about my movies before or after I do films, or any part of show business. I think that keeps me in a kind of place where I can do the work that I need to do.
Well, I was getting a lot of money then, and I wasn't getting any Hollywood films, so I just did those. I'd always do a play in between. Whenever I ran low on funds, I'd always rush off to do a movie somewhere.
I get offered loads of unusual stuff. I just don't do loads because I like staying at home a lot, and I'm a little bit lazy. I don't get that thing of going from film to film that people do. It would drive me nuts, and that level of fame is quite scary.
Whenever I'm doing any film, I'm always just happy to have a job and I always just put 110% of myself into it.
I make movies for money, exclusively for money.
