"I couldn't say no to jobs and I couldn't say no to drugs. I'd get high from a movie, I'd be somebody else because I didn't particularly like me, so long as I had a script in my hand, I was okay. As soon as the movie was over, I didn't know what to do"
- Brion James
About this Quote
This quote by Brion James speaks with the concept of escapism. He was unable to say no to either tasks or drugs, and discovered solace in the form of films. Through films, he was able to become someone else, as he did not particularly like himself. This recommends that he was not content with his life, and was trying to find a method to escape it. The concept of escapism is further reinforced by the fact that he was just alright when he had a script in his hand. This suggests that he was only able to discover peace when he was able to end up being another person. As soon as the movie was over, he was entrusted the truth of his life, and did not know what to do.
