The comic is today's western, so many movies, and I think that if actors want to optimize their longevity, it's important for them to meet the fans because those fans are so loyal and will show up at any movie or tune in to any television show they're on. ↗
I was about 26 or 27 and it was imperative that I make a living right away and it's hard to make a living on stage, so I started in television and film. ↗

You'll see more violence in any television crime series than you will in my films... Art is there to have a stimulating effect, if it earns its name. You have to be honest, that's the only thing. ↗
