When I'm back at home it's just reality. I kind of separate myself from Hollywood.

I'm a very private person, a very bookish person. The social world of Hollywood I know nothing about because I choose not to take part.

I have people around me. I have a semi-permanent crew. If I make a film, they just turn up. They don't even invite themselves. They don't ask if they can come - they just turn up!

I'm in a position where I'm being continually knocked back for the kind of independent films I want to be in because people don't know who I am.

I have a few celebrity friends, but I'm really not into the whole Hollywood scene. I like to separate myself from my work. It stresses me out if I do too much of the same.

I don't blame folks for not wanting to put me in their movies or whatever. I understand if their audiences had an association with me.

If your movies don't perform, they just stop calling you.

Facts are, directors are not thinking of me; they think I only act in my films, because they're stupid. Or they think I'm a control freak, that I will try to, I don't know, pimp their scripts and just change everything, which I will never do.

Hollywood's built on insecurity. People are trying to prove things. And I probably have that. I probably do. Probably guilty of it, in a way.

Well, I think that you know, I threatened myself with quitting after every movie. But I think everybody does that, right?
