It's very important that your parents have careers of their own. When the kid becomes the breadwinner of the household, that's when you have problems.

The conventions of an almighty agency tapping you for greatness and signing you up and telling you this is going to be the next big thing; that has not been my career.

I don't need to play villains or anything like that to show people that I'm different. I just want to be a part of stories that hold up over time. Too much of this stuff is forgettable.

I just want to keep that streak up and do more projects in the future, that's it.

It's very important that your parents have careers of their own. When the kid becomes the breadwinner of the household, that's when you have problems.

So, the advice that I would always give is make sure you've got your own career, before you put your child in the business.
