I swear my car won't run unless I'm picking my nose: At least I'm that superstitious about it so I don't want to take any chances.
But now I realize that this record business really needs me. No one else is trying to take a chance or do something different.
Seems to me that this business for actors anyway is not so much about whether or not you do good work. It's about whether or not you get the chance to do good work.
I do love television. But the business is accelerating and people are not getting the chance to fail.
I do not want to admit to the world that I can be a bad person. It is just that I don't want anyone to have false expectations. Moviemaking is a harsh volatile business and unless you can be ruthless too there's a good chance that you are going to disappear off the scene pretty quickly.
The chances of a bank going out of business are extremely slim but it's always a good idea to spread around major sums so every penny is backed by insurance.
I think I've got my business notions and my sense for that sort of thing from my dad. My dad never had a chance to go to school. He couldn't read and write. But he was so smart. He was just one of those people that could just make the most of anything and everything that he had to work with.
When I was in college I was debating to try my hand at show business or to become a professor. I just thought of the risk of not going into show business and always wondering if I would've had a chance. Because that's where my real heart was.
If there is anything that a man can do well I say let him do it. Give him a chance.
My son had his eighth birthday recently and we had a chance to borrow the film and show it to all of his friends that was at his birthday party and they loved it. I was a little nervous. I said they might not even like it and say his daddy's movie is wack but they loved it.
