You should run your life not by the calendar but how you feel, and what you're interests are and ambitions.
I'm a curious person. I pursue things based on what sparks my interest. I'm not thinking about what role I play. I don't have to be a movie director or this or that. I just want to be part of projects and places that are of interest to me.
Our estimate of a character always depends much on the manner in which that character affects our own interests and passions.
Anything that someone's interested in should be very, very easy to call up onto the screen. And in fact the computer over time will see what you're interested in and make that immediately available without your having to be give any commands at all.
