WORKMAN BLUES
'OF MICEAND MEN...'
SOME PEOPLE THINK SHAKESPEARE WROTE THAT..IN 'HAMLET'..
HE DIDN'T..IT WAS ROBERT BURNS.[POEM TO A MOUSE-1786]
THAT'S WHAT ASSUMPTIONS DO...THEY BECOME INCORRECT FIXATIONS.
THE PUBLIC FACE OR'PERSONA'OF ACTORS IS VERY MISLEADING.
WHAT YOU SEE ONSTAGE IS AN ILLUSION...THE ACTOR'S TRADE OF NECESSITY
REQUIRES TRICKERY AND DECEIT...BUT THE ACTOR ALL ALONE HAS TO FACE
THE LONELINESS THAT SELF DECEPTION ALWAYS BRINGS...
THE ACTOR MUST USE EVERYTHING AT HIS DISPOSAL TO CREATE HIS CHARACTERS
LIFE EXPERIENCES HOPES FEARS COMEDIC MOMENTS AND MOMENTS OFECSTACY..
BUT WRITERS? ...ARE THEY ARE FREE TO CREATE?..OR IS THE WRITING
REALLY CREATING THE WRITER?..THIS IS A PHILOSOPHIC POSTULATE.
PSYCHOLOGISTS SEE THINGS A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY...WE MUST MAKE NO ASSUMPTIONS AS WE DELVE BEHIND THE PERSONA..
TO FIND THE ROOT OF ANY POSSIBLE PROBLEM....

"WORK, IS, THE CURSE, OF,THE DRINKING CLASSES...." [OSCAR WILDE]
I've had plenty of crappy jobs, but the only job I've ever really dedicated myself to has been acting. It's my life.
(2012, on success in Hollywood) Well, I spent many, many years
unemployed. I was 20 when I moved to Los Angeles. I went on probably 600
commercial auditions and couldn't book any of them. I went through the
Groundlings. Everyone there had agents but me, and it was a ridiculously
amazing group. I was there with Melissa McCarthy, who was nominated for
an Oscar; Octavia Spencer, who won an Oscar; Tate Taylor, who directed
The Help. Success is just a war of attrition. Sure, there's an element
of talent you should probably possess, but if you stick around long
enough, eventually something is going to happen, you know?
(2012, on his wild party years) I just loved to get fucked up --
drinking, cocaine, opiates, marijuana, diet pills, pain pills,
everything. Mostly my love was Jack Daniel's and cocaine. I was famous
for going out on Thursday night to have a couple of beers, and that just
led all the way to Saturday night. I would meet people here and there,
and then I'd be in a hotel room with four strangers. Oh, they're tapping
out? Well, someone new showed up. Well, what's your name? Yeah, I'd
love to go dancing. I lived for going down the rabbit hole of meeting
weird people. Of course, come Monday I would be tallying up all the
different situations, and each one was progressively more dangerous. I
got lucky in that I didn't go to jail...My nose is completely sideways
from a drunken altercation. I'm missing a knuckle because of a drunken
altercation. Somehow I was usually able to get sober for work. I got
sober for my first movie, Without a Paddle, but then I was fucked-up. I
got sober for Idiocracy, but then I was fucked-up for three months.
Then, right before I started Zathura, I knew I would get sober for that,
so I went to Hawaii to relax, and that's when things went from bad to
worse. I ended up in a car accident with a local on the way to get coke,
which didn't stop us from going to get coke. Then it wasn't coke, it
was crystal meth, but I did it anyway.
(2012) It's so weird when you turn 18 and are released into the
world and then just start piling on terrible habits. From 18 to 29 I was
a heavy smoker, heavy drinker, drug addict, terrible eater and
philanderer. The past eight years, since I got sober, have honestly been
about trying to peel back each of those habits, to get back to the
12-year-old kid inside who was tremendously excited about life.
(2012) I'm from Detroit, and my life has been driving cars. In
high school it was drag racing. Then I worked for GM because my mother
had a company that put on big car shows for journalists. We'd rent out
Michigan International Speedway, and I got tons and tons of seat time in
these crazy cars that a 16-year-old should never be allowed to drive. I
fucking love cars.
(2012, on if success is what he thought it would be) Oh God no,
but it's impossible to know until you've had success that it doesn't
alter your daily struggles. When I was a struggling Groundling, I
thought if I had the life I have now I wouldn't have to brush my teeth
anymore and could eat cupcakes all day. In fact, I have to do the same
shit I've always had to do to not feel miserable, which is work out,
journal, eat well, do something for somebody other than myself at some
point every day-even if it's just the dogs, those little fuckers.[thanks to IMDB ]
