"No, I have to say no," Neeson said. "I get the chance to do this job. These complete strangers send me scripts and I’m always humbled by it, touched that they’ll offer me this stuff to do. I feel very privileged and I genuinely mean that."
Neeson added "It stops me from doing real work, digging ditches, teaching kids, working in a coal mine."
Neeson can be seen in the new film Blacklight, hitting theaters in Chicago on Friday, Feb. 11.
