Acting is fantastic but to be able to create a whole world on celluloid is amazing. It's like taking your dreams straight from your head and projecting them onto a screen.

'Twilight' is such an amazing project and I think it opened up doors for all of us cast members.

You have to wait for a big star to come in and generate interest on a project and now that has become me which is an amazing blessing.

To be honest everything in my life outside of tennis is great. I'm doing amazing projects that if I didn't have time off I wouldn't be able to focus on.

For the last 20 years of my life I've had the mantra to do amazing parts with amazing people in amazing projects so I'm attracted to good story writing and character and good people. That's what I'm always searching for and I don't think that's ever going to change.

Anyone who writes knows that ultimately the majority of your time is spent alone in a room with a piano or a guitar no matter what the project is.

To be perfectly honest I think that as I'm growing older I'm just growing more impatient. I'll be very happy if at some point people say 'Michael's grown wiser and softer in his old age.' But we'll have to wait and see what my next project is.
