(2007) I am fairly embraced by the Hollywood community, and I love making movies and I love acting, but I`m not real crazy about the Hollywood system. So the fact that they embrace me is a shock to me because I tell them to kiss my ass all the time. I don`t understand why they haven`t thrown me out on my ear. The other thing is I don`t participate much. I have very few friends within the movie community. I hang out with some guys I`ve known forever. They`re all broke and eat me out of house and home. But I stay home mostly and I don`t go to the parties. Maybe that preserves me.
