My objective was to have as varied a selection of roles as possible. It probably did hurt my career.
I feel like a tree. A tree doesn't feel a duty to start doing something about the earth from which it comes. A tree just has to bear fruit, and leaves and blossoms. It doesn't feel grateful to the earth.
This is how it has been since time began: If you want to make something really worthwhile and true, then you have to suffer for it.
