What does it feel like to... 'Cause when I was starting out in acting, I would cut all these quotes out that, you know, other actors had said in interviews, like, for inspiration.
And I remember one I had on my bedroom door, it was from Sam Worthington, and he said, uh, "Kick the door down, and then let all your mates in."
And I've always loved that, and I feel like that's what you're doing with Sunny Disposition.
Like, and you guys know more than anyone, you're both two incredible actors, and it's just that frustrating world we live in, in that we love doing what we do, and if we could be on set every day, we would.
But there's just not enough jobs, and t- there's too many amazing actors out there.
So it's sort of at this point, I feel like, in the industry, and just, you know, i- i- in the s- the space we're in creatively, you know, in Melbourne as well, is, is that you've gotta kind of just get out there and make your own stuff.
'Cause waiting for the phone to ring is so frustrating and so heartbreaking, and all of those, uh, feelings in between.
And so Simon has always just been someone I admire so much in that he's just such a go-getter.
Like, he just constantly working, constantly making stuff, s- constantly putting things out into the world, and he's always done it with his mates around him.
And I, I figure, like, you sort of think about the, the big production houses and the big, you know, the big directors even that are making stuff.
