What I've always thought I would do is make a bunch of movies and then stop to teach for awhile. And then just teach at film schools - you know, teach children.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I always liked film as a teaching tool - a way of getting exposed to ideas that had never been presented to me. It just wasn't on the list of career options where I grew up.
At the end of the day, I want to be a teacher at a university, teaching film or acting.
I have to teach myself. I kind of wish I'd continued with my education, but that's something I can do in the future.
I teach at USC. I have a big class of 360 kids, only about a fifth of whom are film majors. I don't just show the Hollywood blockbusters. I show independent films, foreign films, documentaries.
If I wasn't acting, I'd be teaching acting. That would be my easiest thing to fall back on is teaching it.
I'll continue making films because I love being able to drop into other people's worlds. My goal is to be constantly learning.
Knowing what I do now, I don't know if I'd ever have the balls to go to film school, with no connections and no knowledge of the business side at all.
I knew from early on I would go to film school and try to work behind the camera.
I've always wanted to make teaching a part of my life.
I have taught some master classes and things at my alma mater and sometimes at my kids' school. I will go in and talk to the theater students. I wouldn't really call myself a teacher.
