Chemistry is not anything an executive producer or writer can orchestrate or plan; you just hope for it.
For me, selfishly, The Postman didn't kill my career. It meant I didn't shoot straight and painfully into the limelight, but Rushmore came out of it.

Nor would I be speaking to you now if Kevin Costner hadn't cast me in The Postman.

I know that the podcast is typically something I can do forever, because it's mine; it's just me and my producer and business partner, so it's our business.
If I'm on set and I'm in character, I'm not thinking like a producer. If I'm on set and I'm not in character, wardrobe and make-up, and I'm just coming on set for the moments that I'm not shooting, then I'm able to be the producer.
