It is time for me to chuck in the sponge. To retire from films and stage. The heart for it has gone out of me: it won't come back.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm a massive movie nerd. That being said, I could retire tomorrow because I wrote this movie 'Goon' and it came out, and it connected and it's a wonderful flick that I think is beautiful and then it had this wonderful life and it means a lot to a lot of people.
I just finished an episode of a new show called 'Century City.' It's like 'Law & Order' set in the future, and I have a very dramatic role in that. I have to sob and weep and wail. It was very hard. When it was done, I was like, 'OK, time to watch 'SpongeBob!'
I still have the actor's disease. I always think I'll never get another job.
All I am hoping for is to be able to work - I think my best work is still ahead of me - I think all that I have been through in the last several years have only made me a better, more interesting actor.
And although I've been very fortunate in the film work that's come my way, I need to get back to the stage. If I'm away for a maximum of two years, I feel something's wrong.
I hope to be an actor and never retire.
It's not that I'm retired; I just no longer accept acting work.
In case you haven't caught the commercials, I'm in the new SpongeBob SquarePants Movie.
I fear that I won't work in the theatre again. I'm sad about that. But I won't retire.
I don't think you retire from movies; movies retire you.
