I Have A Very Well

I'm Very Leery Of Show Business, Having Been In Los Angeles For The Last 10 Years. Buzz Is A Dangerous Thing That I've Heard Applied To A Lot Of People That I've Since Not Heard Of Again.

I Went Door-to-door Selling Cable Television Subscriptions When I Was In College. I Found It Incredibly Difficult, Doing That Kind Of Sales Work. I Would Have Thought I'd Be Good At It, But I Wasn't. It's So Easy In Acting. Everything Falls Into Place When They Write That You're A Salesman. People Just Say Yes, And Then It's Great.

There's No Harmony In Most People In A Way, And I'm Attracted To It, And I Think It Makes For Good Storytelling.

When You Have A Director Who Has Work You Can Identify From The Past, It Gives You Some Reference Point As To What Their Interpretation Of The Story Might Be, And How That Might Jibe, Right Or Wrong, With How You See It. But With A First-time Director, You Don't Really Know Where You're At.

There's Something In Human Nature, The Trying-to-get-on-with-it Quality Of People, The Struggle To Maintain Or Keep The Show Going Can Be Exhausting. It Just Seems Like That Element Of Trying To Move Forward While Things Are Breaking Down... Obviously, It's Always Been The Backdrop For A Lot Of Great Literature And Great Cinematic Characters, But Aside From That, I'm Just Drawn To It Because That Feels Honest To Me.
