In Your Mid-30s, It’s Time

It's Difficult To Say No Sometimes. I Often Hear, "they'll Really Take Care Of You," Or "someone Else Is Going To Take The Role If You Don't Play It." Some Of The Best Advice I Ever Received Was To Always Ask Myself: Am I Going To Kill Myself If Somebody Else Takes This Role? The Answer Is Almost Always No.

Truth Is, I'll Never Know All There Is To Know About You Just As You Will Never Know All There Is To Know About Me. Humans Are By Nature Too Complicated To Be Understood Fully. So, We Can Choose Either To Approach Our Fellow Human Beings With Suspicion Or To Approach Them With An Open Mind, A Dash Of Optimism And A Great Deal Of Candour.

I Start At Square One With Every Role. If I Let Myself Feel Pressure, It Would Crush Me. The Truth Is That Everyone Pays Attention To Who's Number One At The Box Office. And None Of It Matters, Because The Only Thing That Really Exists Is The Connection The Audience Has With A Movie. Sometimes That's A Palpable Thing, But Other Times It's Not. No Actor Has Control Of That. All You Can Control Is Your Own Passion For Doing The Work In The First Place.

I've Made Over 20 Movies, And 5 Of Them Are Good.

The Nature Of The Movies Is Different Than It Was Five Years Ago, And They're All Driven By The Possibilities Of Cgi, Which Means You Can Make Anything Happen On Screen That You Can Possibly Desire.
