You're working with models who are looking at their watch, and it didn't work for me. I wanted to have relationships with amazing people.
I loved working on Of Mice and Men. It was a wonderful group of people. John Malkovich is to me one of the best actors around right now-and a lot of fun to work with.
When you're working with the best of the best, I'm not gonna put that on hold so I can work with people who studied the best of the best.
From my dad I learned to be good to people, to always be honest and straightforward. I learned hard work and perseverance.
Obviously, I come from one background, and the people that design fitness equipment have been doing it for years and years, and they know what works and doesn't work.

A lot of people don't have near the amount of success as I've been blessed to have, and it's all about working hard and hoping that continues.
Other people have worked with big studios and maintained control over their movies. I see no reason why it wouldn't work for me.
I've always appreciated working with people I have chemistry with, who are friends, and where you feel that the work is growing while you are getting to know each other better.
