I didn't want to make cinema so a person forgets himself and has a lot of fun. 'I forget myself, I am a little poor consumer.' I wanted to make a picture where someone who sees it say, 'This is me! This is me!'
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When I finish a film, I want to forget it. I never like to repeat myself. Maybe, when I am dead, they will find certain consistencies in the style of my films, but I never want one film to look like another.
Life was so easy before I became an actor. I could talk to anyone, and no one bothered. I keep thinking to myself, 'Should I not be myself,' but I won't do that.
I don't want to make films for myself.
I am so used to being able to express myself from being an actor. So when people don't understand me, I'm just completely lost.
I kind of make a film for myself to sort of express myself.
In my movies, I'm not trying to erase any old image of myself, really. And also I'm not trying to imitate anyone or follow in their footsteps, because I know, Burt Reynolds was just one of the people that told me this, I know how you can only last in this business if you got something special to offer, just by being yourself.
You can only be yourself, and it sounds cheesy, but when it comes to filmmaking, there's really nowhere to hide.
I became an actor so I didn't have to be myself.
I still haven't made a film that defines who I am.
The thing I always thought of myself as was an actress. I never thought: 'I want to be.' It was always: 'I am.'
