You always get in life what you give to others.

Some people think that being an actor is some sort of special "calling". I think, it's like many other jobs. All you really need to be considerate about is to be on time, know your lines and get on with the job.

The truth is most of the films that make a lot of money no one remembers, and I'm not interested in making films that no one remembers."
