If I didn't have to do press, I would not.
Sometimes I have that kind of critical mind to myself as well. This is because there are times where I have to do things that I don't wish to.
I absolutely hate mowing the lawn. When I hear the mowers starting, I want to kill myself: it's the sound of death approaching. Hoovering's OK, but I never in my life wanted to have a lawn and certainly never wanted to mow one.
I think it would be frustrating having to do things you wouldn't want to do, having to make movies you didn't like.
But sometimes you gotta do stuff you don’t want to do.
One hires lawyers as on hires plumbers, because one wants to keep one's hands off the beastly drains.
But for every hour and a half on stage, you have a five hour long bus ride, waiting for five hours at the airport, five hours of interviews... I know, it's part of the job, but that doesn't imply I have to like it.
I hated teaching composition. I was playing music I didn't particularly want to play, being on committees I didn't want to be on.
There's things that you don't want to do and they keep haunting you and following you. Bennett Miller directed this project [Capote], who is a friend of mine since I was 16, and Danny Futterman wrote it, and he's also been a friend of mine since I was 16.
It's stupid to say that I don't like being in the public eye, but I don't like doing stuff that's not needed.
Naturally it is nice to be widely known for worthwhile achievements, but it forces you to do many things which you don't like to do and these things take up time you want for other things.
All the attention in the world won't do my dishes.
I suppose I have a really loose interpretation of 'work', because I think that just being alive is so much work at something you don't always want to do. The machinery is always going. Even when you sleep.
Sometimes one has to take on responsibilities that weren't those one imagined.
Most people spend most of their days doing what they do not want to do in order to earn the right, at times, to do what they may desire.
