A man is hindered and distracted in proportion as he draws outward things to himself.

John Burroughs

I know certainly, when one job draws to a close, that I feel I'm simply never going to work again. No one will ever want me for anything ever again. I think that's a vulnerable moment in every actor's life, and it happens every time you finish a film.
