Trying Different Stuff

More From Colin Farrell

I'm mystified by the stuff that doesn't work. i'm mystified by what's going on in the critical side, too. stuff i like is getting trashed and stuff that is being praised i think is terrible. i don't really feel in sync with what's happening, but at the same time, what i think keeps me afloat is that i try not to be, and don't want to be, very indulgent. i try to make the films as lean as possible, and to not spend a lot of time crawling up my own ass creatively.

Auditioning is a funny one. it's all about energy. if you walk into a room and the room feels off or the people feel off, that can set you off. if the room is very small. i know which casting directors i should go to, because the place is conducive to doing a good job and the people are conducive and i know the other ones aren't, in which case i send in a tape.

People get sick and sometimes they get better and sometimes they don't. and it doesn't matter if the sickness is cancer or if it's depression. sometimes the drugs work and sometimes they don't. sometimes the drugs work for a while and then they stop. sometimes the alternative stuff works and sometimes it doesn't. and sometimes you wonder if no outside interference makes any difference at all; if an illness is like a storm, if it simply has to run its course and, at the end of it, depending on how robust you are, you will be alive. or you will be dead.

So when a good idea comes, you know, part of my job is to move it around, just see what different people think, get people talking about it, argue with people about it, get ideas moving among that group of 100 people, get different people together to explore different aspects of it quietly, and, you know – just explore things.

You want to make a little money, and sometimes you want to play some really great parts. sometimes they don't always coincide, or co-exist. sometimes you've got to do good parts for no money and... you know, i sometimes can't do movies just for the money. i really can't. i mean, i've tried. believe me, i'd love to just take the money and run. that might just be part of the equation, but there has to be something there. you have to be somewhat creatively satisfied.
Running Believe Mean
Sometimes you know about a job four months in advance. sometimes you know about a job four days in advance. it's all different, and my thing is just to try to stay prepared. it's like being a boxer. you never know when you're going to get your next fight, so you have to just stay in shape, mentally and physically and creatively.

There is no other complex field in our society in which do-it-yourself beats out factory production or market production. nobody makes his or her own car. but it is still the case that parents can perform the job of educating their children [homeschooling], in many cases better than our present education system.

Those who count on quote 'hollywood' for support need to understand that this industry is watching very carefully who's going to stand up for them when their job is at stake. don't ask me to write a check for you when you think your job is at risk and then don't pay any attention to me when my job is at stake.
