I am not born to just become an actor
Don't throw out buzz words without really knowing what is going on behind it.
Now at 47, 48 I am expected to do ten times better work that I did when I was 24.
There are actors who can pull of a writer's lines; I am not competent enough to do that.
If the film is a hit then everyone shares the success. If it is going to be a disaster then it might as well be because of me, not because of somebody else.
Have you seen a duck gliding smoothly on water? Does it ever look like it is paddling furiously underneath the surface? I don't have to show that I am working very hard.
