I don't have any plans to pursue film acting. It's not my thing anymore, if it ever was. Yes, I do still act sometimes. But when I do, it's with people I know and trust, people who respect me as a person and appreciate what I have to offer.
I have two concerns with my work: having good things to act, and getting paid. In that order. Although if you're not getting paid well, that order can change. But that's what I'm concerned about. Good scenes. Decent money.
I'm not being offered a constant stream of wonderful parts with wonderful directors that would keep me away from the theatre. When they turn up, I do them.
If it's a good script I'll do it. And if it's a bad script, and they pay me enough, I'll do it.
I would love to occasionally do English-speaking films, but the script is as important for me as the director.
My cinema is of a different kind: give me a good meaty role instead of two or three songs and running around in foreign locations wearing itsy-bitsy costumes. I'm clear and focussed about my priorities.
I'd much rather turn down a starring role in a bad picture and do a small role in a very good picture.
The moment you say, 'I want to do a role,' the story suffers. I don't set priorities in terms of roles or scripts.
In an ideal world, I'd like to carry on acting, but I don't want it to interfere with my studies.
Actors today go into TV, which I don't consider has a lot to do with acting. They only think of stardom
