I try not to be too optimistic or pessimistic. If you're a pessimist then that's depressing all the time; if you're an optimist and things don't work out then that's depressing, too.

I don't like watching myself. I get embarrassed.

That's how I believed relationships worked: You go into town, pick up the girl you want, then ride off into the mountains and the townsfolk can't get them back.

I try not to read about myself. Why would reading about yourself be interesting? You're only going to be told you're doing a good job and get big headed about it, or be told you're rubbish and get down in the dumps. What's the point?

I'm not one of those people who's saying "I'm going to set up a production company", because I like acting and not having to be a business man and do that side of things.

That's the main thing, looking for interesting characters, good directors, and experiences where you're growing and learning.

Long-term boredom can't lead to anything good.
