I definitely have found a balance. I've had so many offers in the past to do different movies or different things and I always choose tournaments over it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm content. I want to have better success in the tournaments than I've had, but I know I'm playing well, so I'm happy with that.
Films are a whole new world that I'm excited to explore. But being on stage is very close to my heart; it has given me a sense of belonging. I will always try to find a way to balance both.
There have been so many great tournaments that I've been privileged to see, and people paid me to go watch, that I'm awfully grateful for it.
Balancing my film career and my music will be something I'm just going to have to deal with, as it happens. I think I can balance it out; the choices will probably be pretty clear. If there's a movie I just have to do, I will work the music around it.
For me, competition is good; that is what keeps me on my toes and keeps me going. I am always trying to better my own work, do better than my earlier films... do films that are challenging and exciting for me.
I think watching multi-events is much worse than competing. Especially when you have vested interests because you go through the emotional ups and downs.
I'm not interested at all in playing more than 12, 15 tournaments a year on an annual basis because like all the old guys out here on this Tour, we've played golf for nearly 30 years of our lives.
My whole game plan was to direct movies. I knew if I made a reputation in theater, I would get offers.
I want to do more movies. I feel like it's a totally different skill set than there is to theater. It's much more internal.
I've only gotten directly offered two or three movies, ever. I don't have the luxury of being able to say no a lot, and I don't really have the luxury of just getting to pick and choose certain things. If I did, I probably would choose even more different roles than I've played.
