After my years in Hollywood, I got tired of apologizing for work that really wasn't mine to begin with.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I find myself apologising for not being a proper actor. I never intended to be involved in the film industry and still do feel that, with the exception of a couple of brief skirmishes with the film industry.
After I got to Hollywood, I resented that I didn't get a crack at more dramatic roles because I photographed so beautifully.
I was in an awful lot of trouble in Hollywood.
I can say without melodrama or malice that Hollywood ruined my life.
For me, it is all about people having jobs, and that is why I make no apology for having focused relentlessly on employment and job creation.
It's said in Hollywood that you should always forgive your enemies - because you never know when you'll have to work with them.
If you're an actor, and you're selfish and not strong, it's difficult to maintain a good personal life or a solid career, and I was selfish and had a lot of anger that went way back.
Hollywood is so governed by the ego, and I never wanted to fall into that trap.
I never, ever want to apologize for a film. If it's bad I'll say it's my fault. And that's what I can say so far in all the films that I've done, that if you don't like it, it's entirely my fault.
I'm trying to figure myself out through my movies. Whether it's big stuff like what we're doing here, or little stuff like, 'Why aren't I happier?' With every film I feel like I'm apologising for something. I feel I'm most successful when I'm looking for something that embarrasses me about my character that I'd like to expose.
