I had plenty of offers to do sponsorships and TV commercials, but it's just not in me. I would love to get that out of me, but I just don't feel comfortable with it.

I hope I never get so hard up I have to do advertisements. I've gotten ridiculous offers.

I enjoy living in a nice house and having a nice life. So I do two or three commercials overseas a year to sort of fill in, because they pay pretty well.

Everybody wanted me to be rich and famous on my art. And I said no to all the commercials and all the seedy offers.

Commercials are art, too; they're 30-second movies starring people like me. If you look down on the medium, you're never going to book. If you don't love it, do not bother. Find another job you like.

Most of the offers I get from Hollywood are for teen comedies. My manager thinks I'm crazy for turning down all that money, but I'm very picky.

Back in the day, if you did any commercials or were affiliated with a company you were a sellout. Now it's kind of normal to do that.

I'm either offered window-dressing parts in large movies or little art films no one ever sees. People think the movies I end up doing are my real choices. I do the best things I'm offered.

I don't make deals for the money. I've got enough, much more than I'll ever need. I do it to do it.

Advertising is what I do. It's got me everything I have, and I'm not going to leave it.
