It's easy to gain weight when you're in the studio.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I always lift weights very heavy and spend a lot of time in the weight room.
Being in the studio is like painting, you know, you can really take your time, and try different things, and kind of go deep into it.
It's, like, sort of a dream thing for an actor when they're told to gain weight.
I'm obviously not a guy who focuses on weight too much. But for certain jobs, you have to gain or lose weight.
Actors travel a lot and work long hours, and sometimes you eat at odd hours, so I have to work out to keep my weight at the same level.
There are many artists who feel that in order to move forward in their careers, they have to lose a drastic amount of weight.
I'm not a guy to go in the studio and spend months, let alone years, like some people do. I cannot even be in the studio for a month, it will drive me nuts.
I just want to be in the studio. When you've got all the gear you want in your own house, it's difficult to go out and do something else, you know?
I've talked to a number of actors who have gained weight for roles, and just the sheer physical toll it puts on one's knees and shoulders - no one wants to do it again. I'm 57 and I don't think I'm going to take on any job or go on vacation again and see to it that I can gain 30 pounds.
I would like to be more fit, but I don't think I will put on fat or gain weight for movie roles. I am not going to do that.
