Hopefully, as I get older in the business, I make my choices more accurately, and I perhaps know from either the script or the first meeting that it isn't going to work.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
These things are hard to pin down. We work on a script a bit, then work on a different one.
If I feel like it's a well-written script and if it speaks to me, it's something I want to do. I usually rely on my instincts when it comes to a script.
And when I'm on set, I'm just thinking about the script and of working. I think I've stayed focused on the work so much that I haven't really noticed my life start to change except for I've gotten busier.
I don't work very much, and I just sit here waiting for a script that I can't refuse - and I'm not talking about money.
Usually, if you've got a great script, everything falls into place.
Am I getting better at making choices? Well, I think I might be getting better at reading scripts.
If a script is good, you are 10 steps into the part just reading it. But my choices are not all down to my taste. It is about people you have worked with before.
I've always felt that I'm in a spontaneous business and if you script something, if you plan something, it will sound that way.
I'm the only one responsible for the choices I make and the opportunities I get. When you read the script, you don't know how it's going to shape up. You just know what you've been narrated.
Once you've agreed the script, you must be willing to go as far as it needs to go on set.
