Ask the question, Billy Crudup says
Billy Crudup, who's in the movie Almost Famous, tells Esquire he doesn't like to work that hard in interviews. "I do enough of these and people create this idea of who I am," he says. "Generally, this is something an actor works toward -- avoiding certain subjects, promoting others, being seen in certain places, finding the right place to stand, being seen in certain causes. All of that is meant to promote a calculated image. That's work I'm not too interested in. If I start on it, inevitably I'll have to maintain it. This premise of all this is whether anyone would give a s--- one way or the other, which I call into question almost immediately."
