All People Are Paradoxical. No One Is

I've Observed Over And Over That People Seem To Get A Much Deeper Sense Of Fulfillment Out Of Something They've Done As An Act Of Service Than Out Of The Things They Do For Themselves.

People Say You Can't Make Movies About Your Politics Or The Environment. And, Generally Speaking, I Completely Divide Those Sides Of My Brain.

All People Are Paradoxical. No One Is Easily Reducible, So I Like Characters Who Have Contradictory Impulses Or Shades Of Ambiguity. It's Fun, And It's Fun Because It's Hard.

In A Very Philosophic Sense I Think Doing The Work Is Itself A Good Thing. But At The End Of The Day, Since We're Taking Other People's Shekels To Do It, And Their Work Is Being Able To Make A Return Out Of It, It Forces You To Consider The Fact That You're Doing It For Other People. The Whole Construct Is Built Around The Assumption That It's Going To Get Shared, And That Someone Else Is Going To Find Value In It - Entertainment, Catharsis, Enlightenment, Or Whatever.

I Don't Think You Should Sit Around And Wait For People To Give You An Opportunity To Express Yourself Or Do Your Work, Or Whatever. Actors Have To Be Producers And Writers Have To Be Producers.
