A good film is when the price of the dinner, the theatre admission and the babysitter were worth it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I love film. After a yummy meal for the whole family and some truly great friends, we often go out to see something beautiful and unique.
The big budget films have money to do things that are not necessarily essential but sure are comforting. The catering is usually much better. And you have way more of anything you could possibly need. You definitely get a trailer. My shirt and suit for 'Million Dollar Baby' were tailor made.
The only difference between working on a huge-budget film and a lesser-budget film, is the quality of lunch and dinner.
Kids want you to take them to whatever kid movie is opening, and you just hope it's good because you're going to buy a ticket, no matter what. If it's no good, you kind of drape your arm over your kid so they don't get smashed, and you take a little nap.
I used to say that theatre was my favourite thing. But the more I do film, the more I appreciate it.
I've always loved film more than theater.
When you work so hard on making a film, it's all worthwhile when you get to experience seeing that film with an audience who thoroughly enjoy it and react to the movie.
If you're sitting in the audience, you probably can't see the preparation and work that goes into creating a great scene or a great part, but I can assure you that a good film depends on lot of different things falling perfectly into place.
I probably made a few pictures I shouldn't have done, but I have four sons and I have to pay the rent. If you have a decision to make about whether or not you can buy groceries at the market or whether or not you're going to make a bad movie, you're going to make a bad movie.
When you do a film, you get picked up in a car, lunch is free. Theatre is really hard, and you get absolutely no money.
