Whatever The Reasons That I Turn Things Down, I'm Always Happy When There's A Good Result, And I Can Enjoy It As A Movie, You Know? I Don't Feel Like, 'oh Man, That Was Really Good. I Should Have Done It.' You Have To Make The Decisions You Have To Make, Whether It Has To Do With Your Family Or Repeating A Character Or Whatever It Is.

A Lot Of People That Make Films Say, 'we Need This Kind Of Character. Who's Done It Before? Get Them To Do It Again.' That Is Exactly What Actors Are Pushing Against. It's Kind Of A Cliche To Talk About Being Stereotyped In That Way, But It Happens.
