I always voted at my party's call, and I never thought of thinking for myself at all.
I never saw myself so much as an actor. I wanted to be a cartoonist like Charles M. Schulz and create my own world and be able to have a studio at home and not commute and be able to be with my family.
For me, acting was a way of taking destructive energy and doing something productive with it, and in that way it was quite a life saver.
