I never pursued Hollywood banging my drum, because I was never in a film big enough to do that

I stopped courting Hollywood a long time ago

I never pursued a career relentlessly

I don't champion the idea of being in a Hollywood movie. I never had fun in one of them

I live a very quiet life, although I'm very urban and a diehard New Yorker

Literature is air, and Im suffocating in mediocrity.

It's a blessing and a curse. But it's not always the best situation to be in. As a profession, I don't recommend acting at all.
