One of the difficulties of being a writer must be that you create drama that you can't live out. That's one of the wonderful things about acting.
The terrible thing about acting is the stops and starts.
People say, "Why is it that you love to act?" And you want to say, "Well, most of acting is sitting in your trailer, either bored or worried about the scene coming up." A lot of it is about things you don't really like, so it's a wonder why acting is such a huge draw, why everyone loves it so much.
I'd always wanted to act, but it was a question of whether acting wanted me and whether the movies wanted me.
