I work with the options I have in front of me and my reasons for choosing a job can vary enormously depending on the circumstances. Sometimes I take a job because it's a group of people I'm dying to work with, and sometimes it can be a desire to shake things up a bit and not to take myself too seriously.

I've gotten involved in producing now, so the kinds of things that are more my own choice are more possible in that field because I don't have to be castable.
