When you do a studio picture, all the paperwork and legal stuff is already taken care of!
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
You get involved with a studio, and optional pictures and sequel options and that sort of thing are becoming part and parcel with the roles they're handing out.
If you want a studio to back you, you want to be doing something that's been done to death!
You have to work to be relevant. If you don't, then people will forget, and the studios won't want you because they won't remember the last thing you did that made money.
I made many studio albums and I think the danger of studio recording is that if you do not watch out, you come out with a perfectly sterile performance.
You earn very little money on independent films and I'm the provider for my home, so I do have to think of taking one for the accountant time and again and that means studio pictures.
In America there's no rights for the artist, so whatever films I've made kind of belong to the studio.
I knew I had more in me than just standing up and having my picture taken... Being in the studio, I have to have an opinion.
When I was starting out, young actresses had the studio system to protect them. Now you have a host of sharks, from your agent to your publicist to your lawyer.
Because of my filming commitments in America, you have to sign contracts where you can't change your physical appearance.
It really does take a lot of time to make records, to be in the studio and do all that stuff.
