Now when I'm not working, I don't really hang out with the young comics.
Young adults love to play games and they're thirsty for social interaction, but a lot of bar and restaurant experiences are quite unsatisfactory on the social level. What young people need is a place that has the feel of an unhosted party where they find themselves interacting with like-minded strangers.
I think I should go out and socialize more, meet more people. But I don't do that a lot.
Human interaction is something that I believe, as humans, we crave for. And that is where bars and social environments come into play.
Some of the most lasting contacts and friendships that I have developed began by just grabbing a drink or breaking bread with a stranger at an industry event.
Any time you make more than a couple of friends at an event, I think that you actually made no friends.
One of my friend calls me 'lost to showbiz', but that's only because I don't go for a drink as often as he'd like, because I'm always working. I've met very few famous people who are lost to showbiz - I have met some, mind.
I have a very active social life. It may look glamorous, and it is, but it also takes an enormous amount of time.
I've always been resistant to parties and schmoozing.
If the night's right and the people are right, of course I want to be out, I want to be socializing. I don't want to be in my studio 24 hours a day for the whole rest of my life.
I guess I would like to play some more extroverts.
I get energy from meeting people.
I might not be over-enthusiastic about socialising and making friends, but I am not a loner. I love hanging out with my friends, and I do it often when I am not working. Maybe, since I am not often invited to the 'happening' parties of our industry, where the media is around, I have earned the reputation of being a loner.
I'm very social. It's just most of my friends are not actors.
It is possible to stand around with a cocktail in one's hand and talk with everyone, which means with no one.
I think... part of life skills is also socialising... I think many people make the mistake of not going out... You can spend a little bit too much time with your nose in your book or with your fingers on a keyboard, and you miss out.
I'm a nonstop extrovert, a people person who loves mingling and gabbing and getting out in the world.
For my part, I confess I seldom listen to the players: one has so much to do, in looking about and finding out one's acquaintance, that, really, one has no time to mind the stage. One merely comes to meet one's friends, and show that one's alive.
I go out very rarely in Paris. If it's a fashion party at a nightclub, I wouldn't dream to go. People come to you for your work, not because you go to all their parties.
Let those who like society better have it.
