I act for free, but I demand a huge salary as compensation for all the annoyance of being a public personality. In that sense, I earn every dime I make.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The personality problem is so tough when you're not able to pay people. It's bad enough when you can pay people, but, when you have people working for free, often their motivation is diminished considerably.
I consider myself as a free spokesman for the people.
I don't get paid like a person that everyone knows, but I get paid so much more in so many ways.
I don't find acting to be a particularly noble way to make a living. I'm not saving anybody's life, I'm not a teacher, I'm not working for UNICEF. I don't think I'm some big deal.
For some reason, people think of me as someone who can do anything I want. And I'm not. You know, I need someone to put up the money.
It's important for me to be free and know I'm acting for myself. I do things because I want to, and that's important. You want to be your own person.
If any of us were faced with a huge bag of free money and very little accountability, it would be human nature that you would make the most of it.
I feel really privileged to be an actor, to be paid to do something I love.
I've been very well remunerated for my talents over the years so I really don't need the public's money.
If you make a living, if you earn your own money, you're free - however free one can be on this planet.
