'King of California' was just, I thought, a really great, fresh, original kind of script. I loved the tone, the mix of tragedy, comedy, and drama, and that it was a good part.
A good part's a good part. You can play serious and funny moments with a well-written role.
I trust that I know a good part when I see one, and usually, when I see one, I have to wait for seven people to pass in order for me to get it.
Acting in particular is a fun job when you have a good script. I don't know about acting when you don't have a great script. I'm gonna say that's not a great job, it's kind of a dumb job. But when you have a good part in a good script, it's the best job, in a way.
That job [on Out to Sea], more than any I've ever done, I couldn't wait to get to work in the morning. And not only that, but I had a great part. So it was just beyond fun on every level.
If the part is really good of course I would like to do it.
My goal has always been to make a living and to have the respect of my peers. It's never been about stardom. It's about a good and challenging part.
When you first start out as an actor, you're just looking for a good part. As time goes on, if you're being held responsible for the movies themselves, you're looking for a good script all around.
I want to do good work and not take on any movie. I want to do a good movie where I have the most important or very good role.
