The Academy is paranoid about its image.

Can anything be less cool than defending the motion picture academy?

I guess you can consider photo shoots modeling, but it's never really interested me. I find it somewhat boring, actually. It wouldn't be something I would do.

And friends of mine that had photography class in high school would develop the film and make prints and I'd take them back to the track and give 'em away or try and sell them. Much to my parents' dismay, I majored in photography in college.

If I had to start over, I'd pursue photography - probably to the exclusion of acting.

When I graduated, I felt a little burned out on taking pictures after so many years of churning out so many for classes.

There are things that I will always shoot, but now that the modeling and acting worlds are becoming very close, you can do a little bit of one and more of the other.

For my second and third pictures, I won Academy Awards. Nothing worse could have happened to me.

I'm not aiming for an Academy Award.
