Hey, I’m a human being also.
My life is okay, my life is pretty good.

There is no grand strategy. My sensibilities push me in a certain direction. Other actors have different sensibilities. That’s all. I think it really is that simple. There’s no grand strategy. There are so many variables that I have no control over. I sign on to movies I want to watch, as a fan.
The big thing for actors is the level of commitment. So, if you know something’s already happened, there’s not a whole lot of whys and hows that go down. You just innately commit ’cause it happened. It does help with commitment.

You have to be a master to teach.
If you’re tired of starting over, stop giving up.
