Every actor wants more offers, but I get enough and I do like to be busy.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
As an actor, we're unemployed a lot, so I'm familiar with the stress of trying to get a gig, and sometimes you take shows that you don't really want to do to keep the money coming in.
People imagine that actors are being offered everything and you are not. So things come in and sometimes there are things that I want and can't get a meeting on, or go to a different actors.
There are a handful of actors who sustain interest because it's exciting to watch them get better at what they do. I want to be one of those actors.
I get to choose things that interest me as opposed to trying to get any job that will have me, which for a vast majority of actors is the case.
There's always the ongoing actor frustration of finding the great role to do next. I don't go to work a lot. I wait as long as I can until the money runs out or a great part comes along.
As an actor, as you grow into where you fit in the industry, you're just trying to find the opportunities, hoping they grow and you get to do more.
Actors are sellers, and I figured out a long time ago that if you wanted to work a lot, you had to be on the buying side.
I'm not one of these million-dollar actors. I have always been just a working actor. I probably work more than I would like to.
I don't like other actors much. The industry tends to attract insecure, needy people.
As an actor, you're never busy enough.
