Do What You're Doing While You're Doing

I Grew Up With Scientology - My Parents At One Point Were Clerical. It's A Pragmatic Philosophy, Not Merely A Belief System. Yeah, It's Had Media Exposure Because Certain Luminaries Do Scientology, But Millions Of People Do It Who Are Not Celebrities. It's Not A Threat Or Some Cult.

It Was Extremely Useful To Grow Up In Front Of The Camera. It Gives The Camera No Significance. I Think It Helped Me Have Perspective On Things. The Attraction That Hollywood Can Have, I Feel Like I'm Over That. Instead I Just Concentrate On Acting.

For Me, Acting Is All About The Aesthetic. I Just Want To Keep Honing My Craft. Not That I'm Taking Myself Too Seriously, But Every Artist Should Consider Himself Picasso. Otherwise, You're Doing Yourself An Injustice.

I Could Almost Say It Is My Religion. I Guess That Sounds Pretentious, But I Want To Live And Breathe Cinema.

Acting Is Ephemeral. It's Not Like Making A Painting That Lasts Forever. You're Doing Something, And The Very Action Which Comes And Goes, Is Being Demonstrated In Front Of You. Within That Process, You're Trying To Go Against The Grain.
