If you’re successful,
even a little bit successful,
you’ll receive more opportunities
than you can tackle well.
Because you’ve been ignored
or had to fight for previous opps,
there’s a temptation
to take them,
to stretch yourself too thin.

Men’s Health,
Sons Of Anarchy star
Charlie Hunnam shares
why he turned down
the role of Christian Grey
in Fifty Shades Of Grey
“I was going to finish
playing a psychopath
who’d just lost his wife
[in Sons of Anarchy],
and five days later
I’d be on set playing Christian Grey.
I was like
‘This is going to be
a fucking disaster.’
It was the opposite of how
I’ve tried to ground my career,
not stretch myself too thin,
and always do my homework.”
“There’s a tendency
in this Hollywood machinery
to take on too much.
You end up not being able
to give everything you want.”
In other words,
you produce shit.
You don’t want that.
Be choosy about your opportunities.
Ensure you can deliver.
