Acting is an escape from the boring person that I am in real life.
I do things, and other people laugh at them. I rarely know what the joke is supposed to be or why they're laughing.
In an amusement park, you can go on a roller coaster that carries you up and down, or you can go on another kind of ride that whirls you around in a circle. Similarly, there are different sorts of entertaining experiences in the theater.
In terms of number of movies, I've been in an extraordinary amount. If you count only the minutes I'm onscreen, it's not so long.
