I Try To Cast Really Good Actors

It Was A Dreamlike Time For Me From December 1997 To March Of '98. Before That, I Was Basically Unknown. Then, Bang! The Starting Gun Fired, And Everybody Just Started Running. It Was Learn-on-the-job. And There Were More Opportunities For Work Than I Had Time To Do Them.

We Wanted To Show People What It Was Like In One Of Those Neighbourhoods That They Would Never Have Access To, In Bars That They Would Be Too Scared To Go Into, And A World That They Would Never Get To See. All Of That Is Something Really Unusual And Rare And Kind Of Fascinating. And The Only Way To Do That And To Make It Really Worthwhile Was That It Had To Be Authentic. We Dedicated A Lot Of Time And Energy To Making That Right And Real. So We Found Basically The Worst Locations That We Could.

Sure, I Suffered A Lot. But It's Not Like The End Of The World And It's Not Who I Am. I Lead Quite A Pleasant Life And I'm Able To Divorce A Perceived Reality From My Actual Experience Of Life.

I'm Not The Type Of Guy Who Enjoys One-night Stands. It Leaves Me Feeling Very Empty And Cynical. It's Not Even Fun Sexually. I Need To Feel Something For The Woman And Entertain The Vain Hope That It May Lead To A Relationship.

I Have Definitely Noticed That I Care Less About Certain Things. Other Actors Are Like: "you Can't Do That", Or "you Can't Do This. This Will Position You In The Wrong Way." That's Not My Thing. And Obviously So, Because You Can See I Don't Craft Or Cultivate My Career.
