I think I was always interested in darker characters just because there was a lot more to do.
I'm not really often recognized - not really. Or if I am, nobody cares enough to come and tell me that they recognize me.
Basically, if I ever went and worked on a crime drama or something, it was usually just for the work.
I was often getting hired to play sociopaths and psychopaths and stuff, which is really funny.
Now I write often. I decided that I need to write for myself - I can't really direct other people's material.
Characters for me are born on page one and they die on page 100.
Im really bad at tests of any kind, so Im bad at auditions. I consider myself educated most of the time, but when Im under the gun, I just fail.
I was watching Orson Welles and Jean Vigo films at a ridiculously young age.
Fame is one of the potential hazards of this job, but I really just want to make movies. I want to be respected, sure. Who doesnt? But famous-famous? I just dont care about it. And if you genuinely dont give a damn about that stuff, you really are free.
I realized that work doesnt beget work. Good work begets work. So I got a lot more patient and stopped worrying about working all the time.
I guess I just would never be so arrogant as to think that anybody would even recognize me. I didn't even think about it.
I did all sorts of cartoons and stuff. And every once in a while I still do. It's rare, but it happens.
I look pretty different. Luckily for me, I don't get harassed or anything like that.
I actually was doing ghostwriting jobs since I was 17 years old, so I've been supporting myself off and on with writing jobs for almost 10 years. But those were all things that I did off the books. And now I do a lot more writing on the books.
