I believe so deeply in the primacy of language, in lifting your prose to the highest level you're capable of and making your words symphonic.
Sometimes it's a character you want to play or a story you want to tell. Sometimes it's just to pay the bills.
The things I see now on TV and in movies are so outlandish. Kids doing rude things with pies! And the language that they use! It's being outrageous for the sake of being outrageous. I can't watch it. It turns me off.
