Be very professional because it will get you a lot further. You have to treat people with the same respect whether they're signing your checks or cleaning up after you.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I don't sign every check anymore, but I have my checks, my balances. I like the people I work with very much, but I check on them.
I am not going to take a role because there's money. It might extend my checkbook, but not my integrity.
My approach is that you have to earn the respect of people you work with.
I'm not the hands-on guy. I like writing the check, and I turn it over to the guys that make it happen, much like the way I ran my business.
The thing about film-making is I give it everything, that's why I work so hard. I always tell young actors to take charge. It's not that hard. Sign your own cheques, be responsible.
I hope the best for anybody in this business. It's hard enough as it is, and of course you don't get much respect from anybody, but when you do, you should appreciate it.
Advice? Look at your pay statements.
As long as the cheques carry on coming in, and I'm enjoying my work, I shall continue acting.
I'm just shocked and thankful that I've gotten away with everything - experimenting here, trying at this, failing at that, being good in some things, not so good in others. It's kind of amazing that people are still sticking by me. When they come up to me in the street, I just want to write them all cheques.
You have to be professional and think about the future.
