What gets yme excited about a project and character is the director, the script, who’s involved in the movie, and the character. Those are pretty much the essentials. If it’s something different, if it scares me, in a way, if it will stretch me or push me into certain places that I haven’t been to, then I like that. If you’re just trying to talk yourself into it, then it’s probably not for you. It’s hard to be selective.
I wish the ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened. So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All you have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to you.
