That's why the "Starving Artist" is a real thing because success and money and adulation create laziness and complacency. Plus age and distraction play a huge role in the quality of work as well. (You could work on your next project, or go to an island with your wife, girlfriend, or mistress.)

I saw a documentary (my wife was watching Reelz on television) and there was one on RDJ, and some former friend of his, from the Less Than Zero coke and near death years, and he said that RDJ was a better actor when he was lingering between life and death.(think Chaplin) Crazy guy blamed his wife keeping him sober for his decline in quality acting.

If anyone has seen Doolittle they can decide for themselves if this theory is true.
