I tell you, I've always been quite physical about acting. I've always felt about for the shape of someone or the deportment, for better or worse.

I think maybe because I do other things and they mean as much to me as movie acting, it takes the onus off me. It's not the end of the world if I can't get a film job, or if a movie doesn't turn out well - even though I don't like it when that happens.
