I looked at films as a career from necessity but all I have really wanted is my home and children. The two things just do not work out together when one has to leave home at 5.30 am in the morning to go to the studio.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I have a very busy life, and not many people who have a career and four kids go out a lot to the movies.
Film work can be tedious and sort of all over the place, especially when you have a family and you're going off and doing things somewhere else.
You want a career. You don't want to do a couple of good films and then your career is over.
That's easy to answer: I never had any special appetite for filmmaking, but you have to make a living and it is miraculous to earn a living working in film.
Making films has never just been a job to me; it is my life. I have some interests outside of acting - I sing and I've written books, for instance - but acting is what keeps me going: it's what I do; it gives life purpose.
I have a kid and a husband and my family, and it's important to live the real life. I don't want to offer my whole life to cinema. It's only cinema.
Working on a film is so great because you have the luxury of more time when you're on a movie than when you're on television.
If you decide you want to work in the film industry, you just have to bite the bullet and take other jobs until the proper jobs come in.
If it's a choice between doing a film and not doing a film, I'd rather not. But then, you remember that you're supposed to be earning a living and that it's your career.
I've always looked at filmmaking as a lifestyle. There is no decision of when you go to work. It's a way of life: you're thinking about scripts; you see things and think, 'That could be interesting'... I don't think about my work as, 'Today I'll work on this, this and that.' It just comes to me.
