My bar for being successful is being able to do movies that really mean something to me and being able to make a living off of that.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've been blessed in my career to be able to do studio and independent films.
I've made 30 movies and for the most part my movies work. In a business where success is an exception and not the rule, I've mostly been successful.
Making films has never just been a job to me; it is my life. I have some interests outside of acting - I sing and I've written books, for instance - but acting is what keeps me going: it's what I do; it gives life purpose.
Being a recording artist, selling music, selling concerts out, having a reality show, starting film; it's great, it's beautiful.
You don't have to make, you know, $3 Million dollars a movie, or $20 Million dollars a movie, but if you make a living doing what you love doing, then that's success to me.
Being a big star and being known, making movies and a lot of money - that really doesn't interest me.
Being a father, being a friend, those are the things that make me feel successful.
Nothing means more to me than making the best music and me getting better as a writer and producer... I want you to know I work really hard. The bar is really high.
I didn't have any fixed goals when I joined the film industry. I don't particularly feel 'successful,' but I am grateful that my career is going well.
I'm going to keep making films I believe in. Whether I am successful or not is besides the point.
