Craig Sheffer

I would do a film, make the money, then take off for six months to Europe, India or Russia. My agent told me that I had to stay in town if I ever wanted to build a career, because everyone forgets about you.

When you go out on auditions for big movies, and you're not a big star, you get used to getting close but not getting the part.

Focus on making you the best you can be as an actor, and follow your own path.

I enjoyed my 20s - they were torturous and beautiful. I learned so much about myself and about life and about the nature of people.
