Basically, if I ever went and worked on a crime drama or something, it was usually just for the work.

I realized that work doesnt beget work. Good work begets work. So I got a lot more patient and stopped worrying about working all the time.

I feel that as a writer and as a performer too. I never really thought about backstory for characters. It was much more of a musical approach: You learn a melody, and then you sing it, I suppose, or you find a rhythm or a cadence that works for the material. And then it's sort of about hitting that note correctly and finding those beats.

I did all sorts of cartoons and stuff. And every once in a while I still do. It's rare, but it happens.

To spend 36 hours or 48 hours of my life binge-watching something seems insane to me.

Fame is one of the potential hazards of this job, but I really just want to make movies. I want to be respected, sure. Who doesnt? But famous-famous? I just dont care about it. And if you genuinely dont give a damn about that stuff, you really are free.
