I mean, I've never really had much security, to be honest.
Is a fixed income not a good thing? Does not everyone love to count on a sure thing? Especially every petty-bourgeois, narrow-minded Frenchman? the 'ever needy' man?
It is better to have a permanent income than to be fascinating.
It's always appealed to me do to something that is whatever 'steady' means in this business. That's what I've kind of searched for, because, having a family, it's the best situation.
I like the stability, the continuity of having a lifestyle where I know I can pay my rent at the end of each month. And also I have these children that I am raising and it's nice for all of us to sort of know that we're going to be in a specific place for a certain amount of time. I've never known that in my career. So I'm really quite grateful at this point that I get to have the sort of double existence and I can rely on both.
There are worse things than being constantly hired to do anything.
I know I'm not a hotly in-demand movie star, but I'm good at my job. And I want to keep working for the next 40 years.
Something that is appealing to me about old Hollywood is job security.
It is the small owner who offers the only really profitable and reliable material for taxation. He is made for taxation.
If I wanted to play it safe, I'd get a normal job with a secure paycheck.
That's very unusual for an actor, to have gainful employment that they are secure in, that they know is going to be there year after year.
I'm just happy to be working consistently.
