I like doing voiceover work. I just like it in general, because you're constantly working on a very first-instinct level. You show up, you get in front of the microphone, you look at the lines, you say the lines, and then you move on. You work on a really primal level, is what I'm saying. You don't have to shave. You don't even have to wear pants. But, uh, that wasn't your question.
People are doing sitcoms on stage rather than theater. You go to the theater, and it`s as if you were watching a sitcom at 8:30 on Channel 4.
Every job has a unique situational circumstance.
I, for one, am not nearly as engaged when I'm looking at something that's been completely drawn up on a computer that replaces anything that's in real time and real space. It just engages me all the less, rather than all the more.
Independent film is almost nonexistent right now, because all the distributers that used to love to put out these little art films are all out of business right now, because it costs so much to open a movie.
I lost 90 pounds and my blood pressure went down to a normal level and the salt in my urine disappeared. And that was when I had to make the transition from fat character actor to thin character actor.
I like playing interesting people, I like playing slightly twisted people. I like playing people who have large appetites who are kind of a bit larger than life.
It's really disgusting what Hollywood can do to a guy.
A lot of people have been bent one way or the other on that. I'm not going to weigh in on that; I'm happy to still be at large, I'll just put it that way.
I expect that everything I do will be not watched or not seen. That way, I'm never disappointed when I become flooded with that reality.
Living off the grid and being kind of an outlaw brings a dangerous reality.
I live in a bubble. I don't read the blogs, or go on the internet, and I really just don't know what people are saying because, well I guess I'm afraid to.
I'm fully aware that things that resonate and become real hits are the exception to the rule, so much so that I've wired myself for failure.
I'm real comfortable around people, and it took a long time for me to evolve to that point.
