When you are in a bad production there are two things you can do. You can do your best or you can leave. I chose to do the third thing which was sulk.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Commit yourself to quality from day one... it's better to do nothing at all than to do something badly.
If I feel that I'm not able to do my best work - whether that's my own fault or as a result of an editorial situation - then I need to stop doing it. I would rather not do something than do it badly or ineffectively. It's the only way I can live with myself and do right by the fans in the long haul.
When you're a producer and an artist you're very critical of yourself. I like to produce other people, but I'm not that good at producing myself.
I only got to be able to act, because I gave myself a job as a producer.
The one thing I always think about when I don't get jobs is that it just wasn't yours. You don't want to do something that you're not right for because it won't make the production look good, and it won't make you look good.
One of the worst things you can do is have a limited budget and try to do some big looking film. That's when you end up with very bad work.
You work with great directors and terrible directors, and so you learn; you take what you think will work for you.
First ask yourself: What is the worst that can happen? Then prepare to accept it. Then proceed to improve on the worst.
If I'm producing, I'm not acting, and it's such a long road to get anything off the ground.
You can only do your best. That's all you can do. And if it isn't good enough, it isn't good enough.
