I think that obstacles lead to growth and ultimately, the most learning I've done in my life is between jobs.

I think it's even harder because I think as always, Hollywood is sort of glamour central for the world, and the entire world looks to it for not only entertainment, but the whole idea of the youth factor and youth being sold to our culture via young actors and actresses.

There've been many a season where I couldn't get work, and I think that you learn character development and you learn how to really want what you do in life when you can't really do it.

I think my favorite, and Coppola and that whole thing. East coast Italian directors I guess.
