I've stood around bogs wearing half a million dollars' worth of jewelry, up to my knees in the rot, thinking how much more or less the place smelled like a sewer than it did the day before.
I like this job. I like doing it. It's good to be challenged like that.
I believe in finding a soulmate.
I've always had the same principle for choosing roles, which is to try and make movies that I would pay to see. As I get older, that's meant different things.
