Fame does lead to money which I don't have a close relationship with. I'm the kind of guy who never sees the money - it all goes somewhere else. I don't understand it I don't like to deal with it. I have a fear of not having it because I grew up without it.
It's not a matter of becoming a superstar. Fame and money aren't the purpose of all this. No actor's going to say 'I don't want to be famous.' But the main purpose for doing what I'm doing is the passion in the work.
I used to think no one should go into show biz but now I feel differently. I now feel like it's a great career. If you can do it and make money at it and still not be so famous that you can have a normal life - then I think it's a great career.
There's so many things I want to do. I want to work with great filmmakers great actors great scripts. And there's no reason for me to do anything short of that because I'm 24 I don't have a family I don't need to make tons of money and I'm not dying to get famous.
I didn't want to be famous. I just wanted to earn enough money to have a nice life and enjoy acting.
Look at Gleason in The Honeymooners. He was humorous but the way he lived wasn't really humorous. He was a bus driver. Who wants to be a bus driver? He didn't have any money and he was not famous. But despite that the show is humorous.
In its famous paradox the equation of money and excrement psychoanalysis becomes the first science to state what common sense and the poets have long known - that the essence of money is in its absolute worthlessness.
It's horrible how money and fame can make you acceptable while if you're not famous or rich you're not acceptable.
I think it's really important for celebrities to use their power of money and fame to get their voices out there. It's funny to me that we're expected to keep quiet just because of who we are. Why do I lose my right to speak my mind because I'm famous?
It's funny - nowadays people that are famous get chased by paparazzi. They have this fame but they don't have the money to hide from it.
