It took a long time for me to accept I was an actor, a professional actor, and that, actually, I make a living out of this.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I just wanted to be a guy who could earn a living as an actor, and I did that for a long time.
I had two ambitions: One was to be in The Actors Studio, and the other was to walk into a bar where actors hung out, and everyone would know that I was a professional actor and I would be accepted.
I finally realized that yeah I did want to be an actor and it wasn't out of habit, but I needed to grow up for myself and then kind of re-enter the industry with a sound understanding of what my sensibilities and my values are as a relatively formed human being.
I always believed that I never wanted to be an actor. I only did it because I was allowed to do it and I had to do something.
My whole life, I always wanted to be an actor.
Through all of this lovely interviewing, and nice things people say, and the rest of it, I have learned that I am an actor. That is my profession. That is my job. That is how I make a living. So I am just out there making a living.
I'm sure one reason I became an actor is my basic unwillingness to live one life.
I'm an actor. It's my job.
I don't ever feel like I'm being an actor.
I never really committed to being an actor. It never felt like it would be possible, I guess.
