“At a certain age it just became apparent to me that this was probably the work that I would have to do.”

Where I come from, it was a heresy to say you wanted to be in movies, leave alone American movies.
When I've gone back to work, it's always with that sense of inevitability. That may be a complete delusion, but it's the one that I need to get out of bed and go about my business. That sense that I can't avoid this thing. I better just get on with it.
I do wish I could tell you my age but it's impossible. It keeps changing all the time.
I'm 36 and if I met a woman of my own age and married her, I'd also be marrying her former life, her past. It might be OK for some people - I don't want to judge it or anything - but it's not for me. It would destroy my creativity.
