There's a certain thought process about actors that they are in Hollywood and they sit around pools and get suntans and just get offered jobs.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I've had no helping hand in Hollywood. But in general, I've found that when it comes to getting jobs, what's meant for you can't pass you by.
People have this belief that actors are able to go out there and say, 'Oh I choose this job,' but most of the time we're just taking the job we can get. We don't just get offered thousands of jobs; we might earn one job a year and that's the one we'll take because we've got to pay the rent.
I believe that God felt sorry for actors so he created Hollywood to give them a place in the sun and a swimming pool. The price they had to pay was to surrender their talent.
I think actors always have that fear of unemployment so when the opportunities are there, you just jump on them.
Actors create a fantastic lifestyle thinking they're going to be able to maintain it. Then they can't get work or have to start taking work that doesn't suit them.
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.
Movie stars have careers - actors work, and then they don't work, and then they work again.
Most actors and actresses are consumed by careers and getting ahead.
I know that people get cast based on how they look in Hollywood.
I don't think the Hollywood community is interested in what I can do. That's all right. I've never looked for a job in my life, and I'm not going to start now. I have plenty to keep me busy.
