I don't work very much, and I just sit here waiting for a script that I can't refuse - and I'm not talking about money.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
You can't do things for money. You just can't act them. There's gotta be something about the script that you really want to do. I wouldn't do a job if I didn't think I could do the best work I possibly could.
I never turn down scripts without good reason. If I did, I would probably never work.
My own mentality is that I've retired. They send me these scripts and if I absolutely have to do it, then I go to work.
I'm reading scripts, desperately wanting to work. I've set a couple of things up for next year.
I get a script and it's really interesting with scripts, because you never really know. It's paper and it could be great or awful. Even scripts that are good could end up not working.
Writing scripts is a laborious job that can be a real pain.
It's difficult when you have to turn down a tremendous amount of money because you don't like what the script is saying and you don't have any money.
I won't work on anyone's else's script. I won't write for anyone else. I write my own stuff and make that when the time is right.
I really try my best not to get attached to a script, because I know what it takes: It takes you away from your family and what you like to do.
I'm probably working on three different scripts at any time, so there's never a time where I've got nothing to do.
