Quotes
One of the problems of being an actor is you've got to choose from among the choices offered to you if you want to work. In essence, an actor spends his or her life waiting for the telephone to ring, waiting for other people to decide, "Maybe we should get this person." And if you're lucky, you can convince them that you're right for the role. You might be in a room with about 20 other people who are up for the same part, which is very sobering. That part of it is not a great experience; you're in a passive position, you're not in a position of creating things and making them happen. You are waiting for other people to create things and trying to fit you into it. That's one of the reasons I decided to become a producer and do documentary films.
