Directing Is A Huge Amount Of Work

I'm Getting Bigger Roles, And I'm On Location More, And I Have A Wife And Family. I'd Rather Work Less, And I've Started To Implement That. It Was Either That Or My Wife Would Break My Heart.

As An Actor, Early On, You Learn That The Audience Is Never Wrong. And If You Think They Are Wrong, You Need To Find A Different Way To Make A Living. Collectively The Audience Is Smarter Than You Will Ever, Ever Be.

The Ratings System Is So Bogus And People Know It. Fewer And Fewer People Care. The Ratings Board Has Sort Of Exposed Itself. But My Problem Is, As A Parent, There's This Area Of Film That My Daughters Want To See. They're Not My Kind Of Films, I Don't Want To Go See Them, But I Really Want To Know Whether My Daughters Can See Them Or Not. The Morality Of What The Ratings Board Is Doing Now Escapes Me. I Don't Get It.

Another Mistake A Director Can Make Is Not To Be Prepared, So You Get There On The Day To Shoot The Scene, And They Don't Know How It Should Be Blocked, And They're Not Clear On How They Want To Do A Scene.

Yeah, I Made It. It Sneaks Up On You. You're Some Schmuck And You Wake Up One Day And You Go, Good God, I'm The Cheese.
